Fireplace Glass Doors with a Narrow Frame - Project #20428

Customer Comments: Looking to do a semi inset fireplace of your Profile 4 Model

Our Comments: The Profile-4 is a great look for an inside fit because it has a very narrow frame. If you are burning real wood, it must be burned with the doors open, so it may not be the best choice. There are other manufacturers that make doors with the very same look that can be burned with the doors closed. One with tempered glass and the other with tempered or ceramic glass. I have included each of these options. I also added an additional door that looks very much like your original drawing.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8” from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 36 1/2" W x 44 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.

Ceramic glass is required in order to burn with the doors closed.

In this case, tempered glass should be sufficient as the door will be well away from the fire if set midway in the tile opening.

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.
