Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20406

Customer Comments: Wanted a modern look. Would like in flat black. Would like just two glass doors with maybe a screen (because I have curious cats) for use with a gas log set.

Our Comments: Here are some basic plain modern doors to consider in aluminum and steel. These will keep your cat out and work well with gas logs. Keep in mind, the gas log manufacturers will tell you to burn the logs with the doors open. I included gate mesh doors behind the glass for this purpose, since the will also keep the cat out when the doors are open.

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: 25 3/4" W x 30 1/2" H

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.
