Customer Comments: Remodeling home and renovating gas fireplace to gas starting wood fireplace. Inspector states that I need a glass door. Approx 32X 32. Please advise.
Our Comments: Here are some examples of glass doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. Some are shown fitting inside the opening with mortar added to fill the gap between the frame and the stones. Those fitting on the outside must have wider frames to hide the irregularities and will not seal as well, but look very nice. Doors with optional Ceramic Glass can be burned with the doors closed if you are using real wood. All doors must be open when burning gas logs in order to prevent the components from overheating.
Fireplace Opening: 32" W x 32" H
Before:
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.

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.
