Affordable Custom Fireplace Doors for Zero Clearance Fireplace - Project #20447

Customer Comments: I've got a fireplace that's 35 1/2 wide by 20 5/8 high. This is the opening as you see it in the pictures top has screen cover band that's 1 1/2 in. Not sure if it comes off or not. With of hole has tapered sides. So the measurement is out side of opening. Just looking for black trim glass doors at a basic price.

Our Comments: The header most likely needs to stay in place, particularly if you wish to keep the mesh. I have included some basic doors along with one that is very nice.

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: 35 1/2" W x 20 5/8" 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.
