Glass Doors for Bowed Fireplace - Project #11564

Customer Comments: Hello, We're looking to replace our fireplace screen with glass doors. Our hopes are to make our fireplace more efficient, cleaner, and safer. Could you please suggest a glass door solution? I have attached three photos and would like to note there is a sliding vent on the lower left of the firebox that brings in outdoor air. The rough measurements are 41.5" wide along the curved front and 24" high. Thank you.

Our Comments: We can custom make rectangular glass doors that fit inside the opening or curved glass doors that overlap. The inside fitting doors can be burned with the doors closed whereas the bowed overlap fitting doors must be open when the fire is burning, although you can close them when you are starting the fire or when the fire is dying out.

Fireplace Opening: 41 1/2" W x 24" 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.

Brookfield

Option #1: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black.

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 in Rustic Black with 1 1/2" Wide Steel Frame.

High End Bowed Fireplace Doors

These doors are hand crafted to fit the curve of the fireplace opening. The glass panels are not bowed and may require 4 or 8 panes of glass to go around the curve depending on the radius. It appears that 4 panes will work in this case, but this will need to be confirmed once we get the proper measurements.
