In almost every situation, it’s a better idea to keep your fireplace doors open while the fire is going. Not only does it prevent the fireplace doors from getting too hot, but it also allows the heat of the fire in the room to warm it. But, as long as you have a masonry fireplace that has ceramic glass, you can close your doors!

What is ceramic glass?

Ceramic glass is actually a transparent form of ceramic, not what we normally consider glass at all! Able to withstand consistent temperatures of over 1,250 degrees, this material is a game-changer when it comes to masonry fireplaces.

Why would I want ceramic glass fireplace doors?

In addition to its excellent ability to handle high temperatures, ceramic glass does a great job of radiating heat, which means that you can still get the heating benefits of having a fire blazing in your masonry fireplace without the risk of having the doors wide open! Fireplace ceramic glass doors are also built of high-quality materials and thicker than average steel framing. 

Keeping your fire covered from the open-air environment would be necessary if you had tempered glass, ceramic glass allows your fires to burn more efficiently, which saves you wood time, and work!

Being able to keep the doors closed not only helps your fireplace burn a bit safer and more efficiently, but it also lets you enjoy the one-of-a-kind view of your ceramic fireplace doors with a fire burning brightly behind them, something that you couldn’t safely do with tempered glass doors. 

Have an outdoor fireplace?

We have had customers purchase fireplace doors with ceramic glass for their outdoor fireplace specifically for the purpose of being able use the fireplace for smoking meats! If you live anywhere south or west of freezing, you could possibly have your family sitting around an outdoor dining table when you pull your main course out of the fireplace! Obviously, we recommend doing some studying before trying to pull this off, but the awesome thing is that ceramic glass doors could make it happen!

Note: Ceramic glass is for masonry fireplaces ONLY! Ceramic glass can NOT be put in a prefab fireplace!

FAQ'S

Q: Can I close my fireplace doors without ceramic glass?

• A: No. If you have a masonry wood burning fireplace, you need ceramic glass doors to be able to safely close them. Tempered glass doors aren’t rated to handle the kind of heat that they would be exposed to and could shatter unexpectedly. 
  • If you have a prefabricated fireplace, you should never close your doors when a fire is burning! These fireplaces require a certain amount of ventilation and airflow to operate safely, and closing the doors could cause them to get too hot, damaging surrounding combustible materials and causing a fire hazard. Also, you would lose the majority of your heat and you could shatter the glass doors.

Q: What do I do if my glass breaks?

• A: Whether you have tempered or ceramic glass, we can replace it! Every year we receive a high number of calls from people needing to replace the glass for their fireplace or woodstove.

Q: How do I know what kind of glass I need?

• A: First, let’s look at what the glass is going to be installed in.
  • If you have a wood stove, then you will definitely need ceramic glass, as it can handle that kind of heat, whereas tempered glass cannot. 
  • If you have a masonry fireplace, you will most likely want tempered glass, though ceramic glass doors may be an upgrade that you might want to look into. You can fill out our quote form to give us a little more information about your fireplace if you’d like to know what ceramic glass doors would work well for you.
  • If you have a prefabricated fireplace with broken glass doors that open, you will definitely want tempered glass, as these doors should always remain completely open when a fire is fully burning.
  • If you have a Direct Vent fireplace, which has a fixed pane of glass at the front that cannot be opened, you could need either tempered or ceramic glass, depending on the BTU rating of the fireplace. For any heater-rated appliance with a BTU rating of 18,000 or higher, we recommend ceramic glass. If your appliance has a BTU rating of less than 18k, then tempered glass should be sufficient.
