Custom Aluminum Fireplace Doors

Aluminum does not rust or tarnish and is rather impervious to heat, so it makes an excellent material for fireplace door frames. The frames are pieced together with mitered corners from aluminum extrusions and are custom made to fit your fireplace. You can choose from Powder Coat, the hand applied Artisan Premier or Anodized finishes, each formulated for extreme durability and resistance to heat. The glass is 1/4" thick fully tempered safety glass with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and, unlike cheaper brands sold at home centers, you can burn your fire with the doors closed.

Forged Iron Fireplace Doors

Our forged series of doors takes the steel door to a different level. Some of these doors require a skilled blacksmith to create the look and textures that you see. Doors like these look best on rock or brick fireplaces, although when done in the right finish, will flatter a marble or tile fireplace just as well. These doors are pricier than our other steel doors because of level of craftsmanship required to make them.

Arched Fireplace Doors

Although almost any of the steel doors we have can be made with an arch, we have a few here for you to see. If you have an arched fireplace opening, we will tell you how to make a template that we will use to make your door. We can also make an arched door that fits a rectangular fireplace without the need for a template. The Buckingham and Black Rock are examples of these because they have a wider frame that can cover a rectangular opening.

Why Use Fireplace Glass Doors?

When you have a fire, often times you leave the damper open all night and your chimney acts like a vacuum sucking the heat right out of your house. Once the fire dies out, the process is reversed and cold are rushes into your home the rest of the night. It's worse than leaving a window open in the dead of winter. Who would do that? Closing your fireplace doors as your fire starts dying out reduces prevents this from happening and and minimizes the heat loss from your chimney, which saves lots of energy and lowers hour heating bill.

Important Information about Fireplace Glass Doors!

Before you begin shopping for fireplace doors, you need to know if you have a masonry or zero clearance fireplace (also called "ZC" or prefabricated fireplaces). Because masonry fireplaces are built from non-combustible materials that insulate the fireplace from the rest of your home, there are no special requirements for the doors to keep the firebox cool. However, zero clearance fireplace, often referred to as prefabricated or prefab fireplaces, have special requirements that must be met in order to keep the fireplace cool and safe. So it is critical to know which type of fireplace you have before you purchase glass doors. You can read more about this here: Fireplace Doors: Masonry - vs - ZC. However, before you buy a fireplace door anywhere, we recommend you call and speak with one of our fireplace door experts. Call: 1-800-201-1193.
