Custom Doors for Full Round Arch Fireplace - Project #20347

Customer Comments: Looking for glass door, with vents along bottom (to get air into Fireplace). Color -Black. I have hanging screens, but need to be fixed or replaced. Can be inset, or on outside of brick. Looking for options. Thinking bi-fold doors, but not sure with arch. Being 47" wide, can have outside 4-6 inches fixed, then doors start.

Our Comments: There are several different manufacturers that can make this door. Below are two examples showing how it can be made with fixed framed panels and clearview fixed glass panels. The second option is more desireable and is the only one that can be made with full view ceramic glass doors in case you wish to burn hot fires with the doors closed. We can deal with your mesh curtains separately once we know what the issue is.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 47" W x 26 1/4" H

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.
