Arched Fireplace Doors for Masonry Fireplaces
Arched fireplaces have a timeless beauty that makes them a centerpiece in any home. Because of their unique curved design, these fireplaces require specially made arched fireplace doors that complement the opening while enhancing safety, efficiency, and style. Unlike prefabricated fireplaces, which are always rectangular, masonry fireplaces can be built with arched openings, making arched doors a feature exclusive to masonry construction. If you’re searching for the perfect fit and finish, our custom arched fireplace doors are designed just for you.
What Makes Arched Fireplace Doors Unique
A straight fireplace opening can accommodate standard or custom-size doors, but an arched opening demands something more. Each curve is unique, which means there’s no “off-the-shelf” solution, every arched fireplace door is built to order. That’s why arched glass fireplace doors not only add elegance but also deliver a tailored solution that guarantees a secure and lasting fit.
If you’re looking for an arched fireplace screen with doors, these also fall into the custom category. Whether you prefer a simple screen with operable doors or a full set of glass doors with frame and trim, we’ll help you design the right option for your masonry fireplace.
Custom Options for Arched Fireplace Doors
Just like our other custom fireplace doors, arched doors come with a wide range of options to make them your own:
-
Frame Finishes – Choose from powder coat, premium plated, or hand-crafted finishes to complement your room’s style.
-
Door Styles – Cabinet doors (two doors that swing open) or bifold doors (folding panels).
-
Glass Tints – Clear, grey, or bronze tempered glass.
-
Handles and Trim – Select a handle style that matches your décor.
-
Optional Mesh – Add a mesh curtain or mesh doors for additional spark protection.
-
Draft Assemblies – Improve airflow control with optional draft features.
For homeowners who want maximum efficiency, many arched doors can also be upgraded with ceramic glass and air seals (gasketing). This creates a tighter seal and improves energy performance, especially when burning wood. If you are interested in this type of arch door, check out the Supreme Arch Fireplace Door.
The Template Process – A Perfect Fit Every Time
Because no two arches are the same, some arched fireplace doors require a template to ensure precision. Inside fit arched doors always require a template. Here’s how the process works:
-
Order your door – Once your order is placed, we’ll send you the necessary template material.
-
Trace your arch – Use the mylar sheet to trace the exact outline of your fireplace opening.
-
Send us your tracing – Mail it to us; shipping instructions are included.
-
Steel template verification – We’ll fabricate a steel template based on your tracing and ship it to you for fit confirmation.
-
Final fabrication – Once you confirm the fit, we begin building your custom arched fireplace door.
This step-by-step approach ensures your custom arch door will fit perfectly the first time. While it adds an extra step, customers find peace of mind knowing the finished product will be accurate, durable, and tailored to their fireplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can prefab fireplaces use arched doors?
A: No. Prefabricated fireplaces are always rectangular. Only masonry fireplaces can be built with an arched opening.
Q: Do I always need to provide a template?
A: Inside fit doors always require a traced template. Overlap fit doors may or may not, it will depend on your specific opening which we review after the order is placed.
Q: How long does it take to receive my doors?
A: Lead times vary, but factor in additional time for the template process. Arched fireplace doors typically take 4-6 weeks to fabricate, and most customers receive their doors within 8-10 weeks. Lead times may increase during the busy season (winter), but decrease during the slow season (summer).
Q: Can I install the doors myself?
A: Yes. Most homeowners can install arched fireplace doors with the provided instructions. All of the necessary mounting hardware and installation instructions are included with every purchase.
Q: What’s the difference between an arched glass fireplace door and an arched screen with doors?
A: Screen doors provide ember protection while leaving the fire visible, whereas glass doors offer safety, efficiency, and a more complete custom look. Tempered glass doors must remain open while burning, while screen / mesh doors can remain closed.
