Glass Doors for Arched Outdoor Fireplace - Project #20348

Customer Comments: Looking to seal up our fireplace to prevent smoke coming out the front and filling our screened patio.

Our Comments: Doors made for a screened porch that can be closed while the fire is burning, should be made from stainless steel with tempered or ceramic glass. We highly recommend ceramic glass for outdoor applications because not only handles higher temperatures, but can handle much greater thermal shock (rapid temperature changes) without breaking.

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 and rapid temperature changes. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

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.
