Glass Doors for "L-Shaped" Corner Fireplace with Gas Logs - Project #20327

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I have a corner fireplace where we just installed a gas log set. We are now looking to install glass doors. Is this something you manufacture and the ship for us to install? We are located in Boise Idaho. Please see attached photo of our fireplace. Thanks,

Our Comments: The Birch logs look great! I can certainly get you some great looking glass doors for your corner fireplace. Here are 3 ideas from low end to high end that will work. I am particularly fond of Option #3 for corner fireplaces that are raised in the wall because the doors do not stick out when they are open. Keep in mind that with gas logs you must open the doors when the fire is on, so the sliding doors are a perfect solution.

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.

Brookfield

Option #1: Design Specialties Brookfield Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass.

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.

Flat Steel

Option #2: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black with Brushed Nickel Plated Doors and Clear Glass.

High End Sliding Glass Doors

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans with a unique sliding glass concept. The left side is a fixed glass pane. On the right side, the outer glass panes are fixed while the inner panes slide left and right to open and close.

Sliding Door

Option #3: Stone Manufacturing SD Sliding Fireplace Door in Gloss or Flat Black with Clear Glass.

Mesh Curtains

Because glass doors are so expensive, many people choose mesh curtains instead. Here's an example.

Measureing Instructions

To measure properly, you should remove the black bar that runs accross the top the opening. The bar is attached to the lintel, a steel angle iron that supports the top row of bricks. All of the doors have a subframe that projects back inside the fireplace. That subframe must fit underneath the lintel. You need to measure all around the opening to find the lowest lintel height "L". Once the bar is removed, the lintel will be exposed and you will be able to measure it. We tried to recreate the lintel in the measureing diagram to help you identify it.

We also need to know how far back the post is from the bricks at the corner. Although the diagram shows this measurment at the bottom, it is easier to measure how far it is away from the corner at the top on each side.

HL: Height Left Side (hearth to brick)
HC: Height Center Side (hearth to brick)
HR: Height Right Side (hearth to brick)
L: Lowest Lintel Height. Measure all around to find the lowest height regardless of which side
WL: Width Left Side to Corner
WR: Width Right Side to Corner
PL: How Far Back is the Post From The Corner - Left Side
PR: How Far Back is the Post From The Corner - Right Side

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.
