Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20304

Customer Comments: Need custom frame with doors.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of glass doors that will be great for your fireplace. All of these can be burned with the doors open or closed. We highly recommend ceramic glass if you plan to burn with the doors closed. The standard tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures around 450F to 500F, whereas ceramic glass can go up to 1400F.

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.

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.
