Customer Comments: The fireplace is open to the outside from a screened in porch
Our Comments: We recommend stainless steel doors with Pyro Ceramic glass for this application. They are quite expensive, but the only product that is designed to handle the elements and allow you to burn a fire with one side closed and the other open, both sides open or both sides closed. Less expensive alternatives are not ideal and must be burned with both sides open. Please read the details below for each type of door.
Fireplace Opening: " W x " H
Before:
Aluminum doors are the least expensive alternative. They are a good choice for outdoor applications because aluminum does not rust like steel. The downside is, you must burn fires with both sides open.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Profile-4 Cabinet Outdoor Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Stainless steel is a more heavy duty material for outdoor applications and is substantially more costly than aluminum. These doors must also be burned with the doors open on both sides.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Bifold Outdoor Fireplace Doors in Matte Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Recommended: This is the proper solution for an indoor/outdoor see through fireplace. Pyro ceramic glass can handle thermal shock much better than tempered glass, which means when it is cold outside, the glass will change temperatures quickly. Ceramic glass can also handle higher sustained temperatures up to 1200F degrees, where tempered glass can only handle about 400F to 500F. These characteristics allow you to burn a fire with one side open, both sides open or both sides closed. Ceramic glass has rough edges and each pane must be fully framed.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Flat Stainless Steel Framed Cabinet Outdoor Fireplace Doors in Flat Black with Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Flat Stainless Steel Framed Bifold Outdoor Fireplace Doors in Charcoal with Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
