Glass Doors for Granite Fireplace - Project #11507

Customer Comments: We need help figuring out some fireplace glass door installation options. We like a bronze color or even a Toffee color. We like the bifold doors and chain link doors. We have granite and would like the first choice to have it sit inside of the granite area without overlap. Second choice with the most minimal overlap. I have some concerns about the way it will mount as the granite was added after onto a brick faced fireplace. At the top of the opening, the granite comes down by 5 1/4 from the metal "lental" on the inside (see pictures). Thanks for your help.

Our Comments: Here are some glass doors in a variety of materials and finishes representing a wide price range.

Fireplace Opening: 39 1/2" W x 22 5/8" H

Before:

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.

Stiletto

Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Cutback Fireplace Glass Door in Classic Bronze.

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

Carolina

Option #2: Design Specialties Carolina Fireplace Glass Door with 1 1/2" Frame in Toffee.

Essex

Option #3: Design Specialties Essex Fireplace Glass Door in Classic 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.

Casting

Option #4: Stone Manufacturing DF1G-33 Solid Brass Fireplace Doors with Burnt Sienna Frame and Weather Brass Rope Casting Door Trim. Shown with Gray Glass.

Hybrid-2

Option #5: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Weathered Brass. This door has an angle iron on the top and bottom that fits inside the fireplace to hold the hardware. There is no frame on the sides.

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.
