Custom Glass Doors for Fireplace with Electric Blower - Project #20771

Customer Comments: We currently have glass doors without a screen on our wood burning fireplace. We also have an electric blower insert at the bottom of fireplace opening. We would like to have a screen included in our doors for safety purposes.

Our Comments: Here are some glass doors that can be made with gate mesh backup doors behind the glass that will provide spark protection when the doors are open. Doors will tempered glass only should be burned with the doors open. Doors with ceramic glass can be burned open or closed. Burning fies with the doors closed dramatically increases the effiency of the heater.

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.

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.

Medium to High-End Steel and Wrought Iron Doors

These doors are made from steel with heavier duty construction than the alumininum doors. When ceramic glass is added, each pane must be fully framed because the ceramic glass has rough edges.

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.
