Customer Comments: Looking for a glass fireplace door for our fireplace. Preferably steel. Not bi-fold.
Our Comments: If you wish to burn a fire with the doors closed, you will need bifold doors or ceramic glass. Bifold doors are a lot less expensive and worth your consideration, so we have included a couple options.
Fireplace Opening: 48 1/4" W x 32 3/4" H
Design Specialties makes bifold doors that can be burned with the doors closed. These are very heavy duty and made from laser cut steel
Hearth Creations doors cannot be burned with the doors closed unless they are made with ceramic glass, which comes as a high premium upgrade. If using normal tempered glass you must burn a fire with the doors open except when initially starting the fire or when it is dying out.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Iron Age 2 Cabinet Glass Door with Hammered Texture in Matte Black.
Option #6: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Cabinet Doors with Center Bars and Scroll Pattern in Flat Black.
These are ultra-high-end doors made from solid brass. We have chosen these doors to compliment your black with brass pilgrim fireplace tools. These can be made with a wide variety of decorative trim patterns and finishes shown at the bottom of this page. This is the only fireplace door manufacturer that uses solid brass components. Ceramic glass is not an option and these doors must be burned open except when starting a fire or when the fire is dying out.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing DF1G Fullview Cabinet Glass Door with 1" Beveled Clear Glass, Flat Black Frame and Half Round Door Frames in Polished Brass to Perfectly Compliment Your Fireplace Tools. Shown with Exclusive Graylite-14 Dark Gray Glass to hide the interior of the fireplace when the doors are closed. Can also be made with clear glass.
Option #8: Stone Manufacturing DF1G Cabinet Glass Door with Flat Black Frame and #48 4-sided Floral Casting Trim in Amber Finish to Compliment Your Fireplace Tools. Shown with Clear Glass with a 1" Bevel Around the Perimeter.
These doors are hand forged by a Blacksmith with characteristics you cannot get from flat steel and has a distinct texture to it that is a result of the forging process. The scrollwork comes in a wide variety of patterns and can be customized to your taste. These examples also show an exclusive "Mesh in Front of Glass" feature only offered by Stone Manufacturing. Adding a wire mesh in front of the glass takes away the reflection giving it a softer less modern look that is more in line with their style. You still get the functionality of the glass doors blocking cold air from coming into your home, but it does not look like a glass door. These are very expensive. Ceramic glass is not an option, so you must burn them with the doors open.
Option #9: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1G Wrought Iron Fireplace Door with Hand Crafted Fleur De Lis Handles and Scrollwork. Shown with Mesh in Front of Glass.
Option #10: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1G Wrought Iron Fireplace Door with Leaf Scrollwork. Shown with Mesh in Front of Glass.
These are baked enamel finishes, so they are all heat resistant. These are all Group 1 finishes, which are same price group as flat black.
Use your imagination to create the perfect fireplace screen with these solid brass castings from Stone Manufacturing. Compliment architectural details in the mantel or other furnishings in our home, or simply create your own unique look. Available in a wide variety of finishes.
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.
