Customer Comments: Attached are photos of fireplace that I want to put doors on. Would like suggestions for a simple design that would work. Also suggestions for finish. Dimensions are: Width 32 3/4" Height 21 1/4". Look forward to hearing from you.

Our Comments: Doors for prefab fireplaces like yours must have some way to allow airflow into the fireplace so it does not overheat. Below are a few different types of doors that are designed this way and will work with your fireplace.

Fireplace Opening: 32 3/4" W x 21 1/4" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable. These doors will have a gap between the frame and the outer two panes of glass that allows for airflow.

DXF Pattern Doors

These doors have a 3/16" solid steel frame with doors that are available with laser cut patterns. This is a one of a kind design that we made specifically for you. The frame has 1/4" spacers on the back to allow airflow into the fireplace.

Option #2: Hearth Creations DXF-173 Custom Pattern Cabinet Door in Oil Rubbed Bronze.

High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.

Hybrid-2

Option #3: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Solid Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Weathered Brass. This door has no frame on the sides, which allows air to flow between the glass and the tile.

Sliding Door

Option #4: Stone Manufacturing SD Solid Brass Sliding Fireplace Door in Hardwood Bronze. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. 1/4" spacers are added to the back of the frame to allow airflow.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.

Glass Options

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
