Glass Doors for Short Firelace with Ledger Stone - Project #20483

Customer Comments: I'm looking to get fireplace doors that will fit this opening. A new hearth was added on top of the old brick, and ledger stone is being added around the opening so the surrounding stone will not be smooth like brick. The new 2" hearth makes the height for the fireplace opening shorter (20 3/8" high) so I have yet to find any doors this height. The width is fairly standard (36 1/2" wide).

Our Comments: Fireplace doors in you size are no problem as all of the doors I sell are custom made to fit. I have created mockups in a variety of materials, price ranges and finishes for you to choose from. I did my best to create the finished look of your fireplace using computer graphics. It is best if the doors are installed before the stone is added so you can cust the stones to fit around the door.

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 20 3/8" 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.
