Customer Comments: No screen air sealed any damper want to seal shut. Overlay not inside fireplace dimensions 48 wide X 32.25 tall. Interested in finishes. Combustion air forced thru ash dump not conditioned.
Den is huge 26 ft long X 20 ft wide with 3 8 ft tall windows and two skylights. 75 in tv on each side of fireplace. Mahogany paneling and 3 beams with heavy crown molding. Under renovation a mess.
Our Comments: We will need to communicate further regarding your needs as they are somewhat unclear. To get going, here are a couple mockups showing air sealed doors in cabinet and bifold configurations. These are gasketed, but would not consider 100% air-tight as no doors are actually completely air-tight, but they do seal very well. We do not recommend the cabinet doors for a fireplace this large because ceramic glass is somewhat fragile and pieces that large could break if they are bumped too hard from a log rolling off the grate or some ither impact. See Hearth Creations Finish & Handle Options Here (choose from steel finishes).
Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 32 1/4" H
Before:
Thse doors have gaskets between the doors and the outer frame with vertical bars between the glass to provide a better seal. These doors provide a much better seal than typical fireplace doors and are desgiend to exceed the requirements of the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) for Green Homes. If you plan on burning with the doors closed, you will need pyro ceramic glass. For fireplaces exceeding 42" in width, we highly recommend bifold doors when using pyro ceramic glass as it is very fragile and less likely to break from impact when the individual panes are smaller.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Solid Steel AirSeal Bifold Fireplace Door with Gasketed Door Frames and Pyro Ceramic Glass.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Solid Steel AirSeal Cabinet Fireplace Door with Gasketed Door Frames and Pyro Ceramic Glass (bifold is recommended).
These are the least expensive custom made doors. They provide a clearview of the fire with tempered glass that can be burned with the doors closed, yet still have a lifetime warranty on the glass. View Design Specialties Finish Options Here.
Option #3: Design Specialties Brookfield Bifold Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Gold Rush with Clear Tempered Glass.
Option #4: Design Specialties Stiletto Cutback Bifold Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Tempered Glass.
These doors are made from solid laser cut steel. They are more heavy duty and rugged than the aluminum doors. They also provide a clearview of the fire with tempered glass that can be burned with the doors closed, yet still have a lifetime warranty on the glass. View Design Specialties Finish Options Here.
Option #5: Design Specialties Legend Window Pane Fireplace Glass Door in Oil Rubbed Bronze with Clear Tempered Glass.
Option #6: Design Specialties Craftsman Bifold Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Antique Iron with Clear Tempered Glass.
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.
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.
