Customer Comments: I am interested in glass doors for my fireplace.
Our Comments: Here are a few examples of glass doors that will look great on your fireplace.
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: Unknown
Before:
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.
Option #1: PW Breckenridge Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Satin Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #2: PW Crown Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Brushed Steel (Anodized) with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #3: PW Essential Solid Steel Bifold Fireplace Door in Brushed Bronze with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #4: PW Essential Solid Steel Bifold Fireplace Door with Window Pane Design in Satin Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #5: Hearth Creations Industrial Age 2 Cabinet Fireplace Door in Antique Gray with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.

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.
