Glass Doors That Can Be Burned Closed - Project #20214

Customer Comments: Good Evening - we are interested in custom fireplace doors. We want to be able to close the doors while the fire is burning. We do like the Carolina Windowpane and the Carolina Sunrise Panes designs. We like the rustic black finish. Fireplace opening is 39 3/4" wide x 26 5/8" high. The current doors are 44 3/4" wide x 29 1/4" high.

Our Comments: Here are mockups of the Carolina doors and a couple others that can be burned with the doors closed. The Design Specialties doors have tempered glass, which can handle sustained temperatures up to 450F-500F. The fire should be at least 8" from the glass when burning with the doors closed. The Hearth Creations door has pyro ceramic glass, which can handle temperatures up to 1200F, allowing for hotter fires with the flames closer to the glass.

Fireplace Opening: 39 3/4" W x 26 5/8" H
