Gasketed Bifold Fireplace Doors in Black for Rock Fireplace - Project #20775

Customer Comments: Needing fireplace door quote. We are remodeling an old home with a rock fireplace. Needing a set of doors. Looking to mount angle iron on the inside of fireplace to mount the door. Open to other ideas for mounting. Width 40.5". Height: 31". Airseal Gasket Custom Fireplace Glass Door Matte Black. Gray glass. Mesh Screen. Bifold doors. Thanks

Our Comments: Each of the doors below (except for the Option #1) can be made with a mortar flange, which is a 2" angle iron that returns inside the fireplace from the back of the frame. This makes it easy to fill the gap between the frame and the stones with mortar. All of the doors come with mounting brackets that extend into the fireplace and get bolted to the inside of the fireplace rather than the stones. I highly recommend ceramic glass, which allows you to burn fires with the doors closed. Gray glass can only be tempered, so you must either burn with the doors open or be careful not to build fires that produce too much heat.

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: 40 1/2" W x 31" H

Before:

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. Gasketed doors are available, but they do not seal as tightly as the heavy duty wrought iron doors.

Medium to High-End Steel 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. These are only available as fullview bifold doors with tempered glass. If you want ceramic glass, each pane must be fully framed.

They are heavy duty and made for those who use the fireplace often. Gasketed doors with ceramic glass are available for burning fires with the doors closed and providing a better seal to block cold drafts and help prevent smoke from coming into the house.

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.
