Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20157

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, We are moving into a new house and trying to decide what to do with the gas fireplace. We are considering hiring a bricklayer to remove the hearth (saving the front row and putting them in under the fireplace to make it a hearth-less fireplace, if that's possible). The standing screen came with the house and there won't be anything left to stand it on. We thought a hanging screen might work (like a curved screen you hang on some brackets inside the fireplace), or maybe the design on your website - the door with screens if it has rear feet with brackets to support it? There isn't anything in the room yet but our kitchen table will be behind it. Thank you for any ideas with this!

Our Comments: For starters, you should check with your city building department before removing the hearth. A hearth is required at least at floor level in most cities. With that said, here are some ideas with mockups showing the heart removed. We recommend glass doors to help block air from coming into the home since gas logs require the damper to be open permanently

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.

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.

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.

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.
