Glass Doors for Small Fireplace 25 x 29 - Project #20415

Customer Comments: Hello, I am trying to get glass doors and a screen for my fireplace. We are going to have the fire box replaced with fire brick, as it’s metal and rusted out. There are so nuances to the opening I am not sure I measured correctly as to how the door should be fitting in it to be honest, because it slants downward on bottom. I measured height from very outer edge to top of opening. Please see photos.

Our Comments: The door can be made to overlap the stone or fit inside. If we fit it inside, you will need to fill the gaps between the frame and stones with mortar. We have included examples of both. In your case, the stone is not that irregular, so an overlap fit should be fine. We will create specific measuring instructions for you, depending on which door you choose.

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 5/8" W x 29 1/8" 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.
