What is a Masonry Fireplace?

Masonry fireplaces are built at the same time as your home. The mason who creates the fireplace designs it in such a way that it becomes part of your home structure. You can call it a work of art!  The interior of a masonry fireplace is crafted from mortar and brick or stone, while the exterior portion that you see and enjoy in your living space may be made of matching materials like stone, marble, granite, and yes even tile. Built to last a lifetime, they are meant to be a focal point in your home. Upgrade your fireplace with one of our custom masonry doors. Don't worry we are not forgetting about the outdoors, you can beautify that too! There are wood burning fireplace doors for outside that are specifically made with materials that will resist the wear and tear that comes along with nature. Either way it is possible to have glass doors for your fireplace!

 

Masonry Firebox

A firebox is the part of the fireplace where the fire burns. So it must be able to withstand the heat that is generated from the fire. The type of fireplace you have will depend on if your firebox is brick or metal. Masonry fireplaces as stated above are built from bricks or stone and typically have a brick firebox.

Prefab Firebox

These fireplaces are made in the factory and can be seen in newer homes. The inside of the prefab firebox is usually built from solid sheets of metal. To prevent the fire’s heat from penetrating and damaging the firebox, they have refractory panels inside which look like bricks. 

 

Masonry Fireplace Design

Masonry fireplaces come in many shapes and sizes. Each one is unique to the house it was built in. There is everything from the standard square masonry fireplace (as pictured above), to elegant arched masonry fireplaces. Some masonry fireplaces have a raised hearth where others have the hearth level with the floor of the firebox. Knowing the details of your masonry fireplace will help tremendously when purchasing a masonry fireplace door. So if you're not familiar with the details, go check out your masonry fireplace after reading this guide. Many of these differences come into play when ordering a masonry fireplace door so it's best to know what you are working with beforehand. Glass door fireplaces can totally transform your living space but it is important to get all the details right when ordering.

The Difference Between Masonry Fireboxes and Prefab Fireboxes

Masonry fireplaces are built and designed to last you a lifetime, and are generally constructed when the house or structure is being built. Prefab fireplaces are fabricated fireboxes made with metal that contain refractory brick panels. The masonry fireplaces can also withstand more heat than the prefab fireplaces. But then again prefab fireplaces have metal flues, that are easier to clean than your brick masonry firebox. Prefab fireplaces are also more reasonably priced. Masonry fireplaces are built on-site by the mason at the same time the house is being built while the prefab firebox is built in a factory. A good rule of thumb when trying to figure out what type of fireplace you have is the presence of black metal. If there is a lot of black metal surrounding your fireplace door or firebox then you most likely have a prefab fireplace. As you can see in the picture above, an empty masonry fireplace is made completely from brick or stone and there is no metal present. Glass doors for your fireplace can fit quite differently depending on which type of firebox you have.


Wood Burning Fireplace Glass Doors

 

Piccolo Fixed Size Masonry Fireplace Door

There are many different kinds of wood fireplace doors to choose from, and in this section we will break down the most common types to make your shopping easier. We know shopping for products like this can be a daunting task but once you understand the basics you will be able to make an informed decision. As always we have a talented and friendly customer service team that is happy to assist you if you are having trouble finding the right door for your masonry fireplace.

Masonry fireplaces by their nature are made in all kinds of shapes and sizes, which means the glass fireplace doors must be made to accommodate them. In many cases this means the fireplace door is custom made to fit your exactly opening. However there are some fixed-size doors that fit a range of openings and are typically more budget-friendly than custom-size fireplace doors. If you have a unique opening there is a good chance that our fixed-sized doors won't work, but there is always a custom-size door that can be made to fit. A glass door fireplace has many different benefits aside from style as well!

A new masonry fireplace door will enhance the beauty of the dazzling flames with its simple design in your family home. Fireplace enclosures are made from extruded aluminum, steel, and stainless steel depending on the manufacturer and door type. Outdoor fireplace doors are made exclusively from stainless steel so they can withstand the elements and not rust or degrade over time. Below we will outline the most common types of wood fireplace doors.

Fixed Size Masonry Doors

These are the most affordable fireplace doors when it comes to masonry fireplaces. The drawback is they are not compatible with every single masonry fireplace because they are meant to fit specified size ranges. If your opening does not fall within the allotted ranges then a fixed-size door will not be an option. In that case we would suggest a custom-size masonry fireplace door instead which are very close in overall cost. The picture below shows an example of these sizes ranges which were taken from the Ardmore fireplace door, one of our most popular fixed-size doors.

Fixed Size Fireplace Door Ranges

Here are some of our most popular "fixed size" doors. They are simple and stylish and arrive quickly to your front door. These doors come in flat black and are available in varying sizes. The first door features bi-fold doors while the second door features cabinet style doors. Some glass fireplace doors are available in fixed-size and custom-size version, so if you like a standard door but don't fit into the required range you can usually opt for the custom version. We separate different types of doors by category to make it easier to navigate while you are shopping for a new fireplace door.

 

Ardmore Door Ardmore Masonry Fireplace Door

If you want a glass fireplace door that enhances the traditional masonry fireplace heart, this is the door for you. This door is mounted outside of the fireplace to give a more attractive look and to reduce the heat and the cool air that gets lost.

Alexander Door Alexander Masonry Fireplace Door

Custom Masonry Fireplace Doors

With custom fireplace doors, you can choose from several finishes for the glass and frames. Custom-size masonry fireplace doors also can be made as overlap fit and inside fit, depending on your fireplace. If you have an over-sized or unique fireplace opening you will likely need a custom masonry fireplace door. We have created various categories of custom style doors to make your shopping experience easier. Custom doors are made to fit in a particular way whether that will provide you with a specific amount of overlap, or guarantee a finished frame size. If you are looking for a fireplace door for a specific application, like burning with your doors closed, we have a ceramic glass door category just for that.

Custom fireplace doors are compatible with 3 sided openings and suspended openings. If you see a door you like that is not available in the fitment or size you need, make sure to give us a call as many of our fireplace doors can be made to virtually any size or fitment. Custom doors start at a base price and their price scales based on the overall opening size that is entered. If you want to see more detailed information about the custom door you are interested in you can go scroll down on the product page and view the description and technical specifications. We also include PDF installation manuals and instructions for all of our fireplace doors that you can view right online, and a printed copy is also sent with your purchase.

What is the Difference Between Standard and Custom Masonry Fireplace Doors?

We have a large selection of masonry fireplace doors that will make a wonderful addition to your home. With the custom fireplace doors, you have the freedom of selecting an enclosure that is tailored to your specifications. You have the ability to choose the style, color, design, door type, glass tint, and more. Think of it this way, you have a unique door that is made by you for you. If you need a masonry fireplace door fast, standard-size masonry fireplace doors will be ideal for you. These doors come in a variety of sizes and may not take as long to ship as a completely custom-made door. Standard masonry doors have fewer options and only fit certain size fireplaces, but if you fall within those sizes standard doors are a great budget friendly option.

Thin Line Door

Thinline Masonry Fireplace Door

This door has a slim frame and is available as an inside fit only. If you are looking for a sleek and minimalist appearance the Thin Line wood burning fireplace glass doors will be ideal for you. As mentioned above it is an inside fit enclosure that is for masonry fireplaces only. With the Thin Line wood burning fireplace door, you can have a clear and majestic view of the flames, wherever you are seated in the room.

Reflection Door

Reflection Masonry Fireplace Door

The Reflection Masonry Fireplace Door has curved styling that is featured in a clean and contemporary design. The Reflection door is available as an overlap fit. There are multiple finishes and glass tints to choose from. Get customizing and have a Masonry fireplace door that fits and compliments your decor!

What is the Difference Between Inside and Overlap Fit Masonry Doors?

Overlap fit masonry doors sit on the hearth or floor and up against the brick facing. They do not sit inside of the fireplace opening itself, which is why they are called overlap doors. The amount of overlap varies from door to door and is mainly impacted by the frame profile and frame width. Generally the larger or wider the door frame is the more overlap it will provide. For example if a fireplace door says it provides 2 1/2" of overlap, that means the door will overhang 2 1/2" past each side of the opening. For a 3-sided door this overlap would apply to the sides and top.

Custom Options

Our masonry custom fireplace glass doors allow you the freedom of selecting an enclosure that is tailored to your specifications! This collection is very different from our standard doors. Here, you have the ability to choose the size you need, as well as the luxury of choosing from more options for style, color, design, door type, glass tint, and more. You can essentially create a door that is a unique masterpiece. Think of it as masonry fireplace doors custom made by you, for you!

Because these glass fireplace doors are tailor-made to your preferences, please be aware that shipping may be extended by a few weeks versus our stock doors. Perfection takes time, and our manufacturers put their heart and soul into every intricate detail that is involved in the creation of your one of a kind custom fireplace door. Choose a style that accentuates your home's decor theme, and we'll design a door that will be treasured in your home for years of enjoyment. Custom fireplace enclosures can be made to accommodate any style!

Colors

Every custom fireplace door has a variety of different finish options. Each manufacturer has their own line of finishes so if you notice different glass fireplace doors offering different finishes, that is likely the reason. Finish options are also dependent on the fireplace door material. There are typically standard and premium finished options although some of the more budget-friendly custom doors only offer standard powder coat finishes. It is important to understand that the same exact finish color will appear slightly different depending on what the base material is. For example, finishes applied to aluminum frame fireplace doors are considerably lighter than if that same finish was applied to a steel frame fireplace door.

Custom Fireplace Door Color Samples

You can purchase multiple finish samples online if you would like to compare them in real life or see how they contrast with other colors in your living space. We sell finish samples based on the manufacturer which you can find listed on each product page right below the "Add to cart" button. Remember to also double check the base material of the product so you know whether to buy steel or aluminum samples, as we mentioned above those can vary.

Some manufacturers also offer plated or anodized finishes which are offered on high end fireplace doors. It is common for door stiles (the metal pieces that hold the glass) to be plated or anodized. Some custom fireplace doors also have trim kits that are plated nickel or gold which give the fireplace door a unique and high quality appearance. Most of these plated and anodized finishes have samples available as well that can be ordered. Fireplace Doors Online offers a $25 discount code on your next order if you send your samples back to us.

Accessories

Custom fireplace doors have the largest amount of additional options and accessories compared to standard fireplace doors. This is one of the reasons people lean toward a custom fireplace door along with them also offering a much wider range of available sizes and fitments. The most popular custom fireplace door options are Door Type, Glass Tint, and Mesh. Let's break down these 3 common options below:

  • Door Type: This is referring to bi-fold or cabinet style glass doors. Some standard fireplace doors only come with one or the other, where almost all custom fireplace doors give you the choice.
  • Glass Tint: This refers to the glass tint either for bi-fold or cabinet style glass doors.
  • Mesh: This refers to fireplace mesh that is installed on the back of the fireplace door behind the glass doors. Most custom fireplace doors will have the option of sliding mesh or cabinet gate mesh. Sliding mesh is your traditional fireplace mesh that slides on a rod and has 2 curtains and pulls. Cabinet gate mesh are actually solid cabinet mesh doors that sit directly behind the glass door and do not open a full 180 degrees.

Other common options are Fitment, Draft Assembly, and Door Designs. We talked about the difference between overlap fit and inside fit above, these are both fitment options. Most custom size fireplace doors can be made as inside fit or overlap fit, but there are some doors that only offer one or the other. It is important to check the information on the product page before ordering as the wrong fitment can cause serious issues. The draft assembly is basically a vent built into the bottom of the fireplace door frame, which also has a handle so it can be opened or closed. These are also known as damper assemblies. They are not required but they can be useful in certain situations if you have a wood burning fireplace. Lastly we mentioned door designs, these are laser cut metal designs that sit on top of the glass doors to give your custom made fireplace door more detail. These are not offered as an option on every custom fireplace door but when they are you will have multiple different door designs to choose from that will make your fireplace door completely unique.

Standard Fireplace Doors

Standard Fremont Masonry Door Standard fireplace doors are also known as fixed size masonry fireplace doors. They are a good alternative to custom size fireplace doors if your opening is in a compatible size range. In terms of cost, standard size fireplace doors are usually the most budget friendly. They won't have as many options when it comes to finish or fitment, and some come in specific colors. All standard doors are considered overlap fit, meaning they sit on the hearth or floor and overlap the fireplace opening on the sides and top. Only custom sized fireplace doors can be made as inside fit. We also have the largest selection of standard fireplace glass doors for sale.

Do you need a masonry fireplace door sooner than 4-6 weeks? That's where standard-sized masonry fireplace doors come in! These standard fireplace doors come in a variety of sizes, but they are pre-made and almost ready to go the moment you order them! Typically standard doors ship within 2-3 weeks whereas some custom doors can take 4-6 weeks or longer depending on the complexity and manufacturer. We have many customers that gravitate towards standard fireplace doors to finish off a remodeling project, before they sell their house or another property, or to quickly refresh their fireplace.

You may be wondering "how do I know if my fireplace opening is compatible with a standard fireplace door", we can break it down. You will see size ranges listed on the product page for standard size doors and your fireplace opening will need to fall within both the width and height ranges. For example a large size standard fireplace door may be able to accommodate an opening that is between 36" to 43" W x 25 1/2" to 32 1/2" H. As long as your opening falls within these acceptable dimensions then that size will work for you. If you are outside of the listed size ranges, even by a little bit, we would recommend that you give us a call before making your purchase just to be safe.

Custom Fireplace Doors

Custom Foundation Masonry Fireplace Door

Our custom masonry fireplace doors category features overlap fit and inside fit doors. Some fireplace doors can be made in either fitment, while others are exclusively available in inside fit or overlap fit. In general we recommend, and people tend to lean towards, overlap fit doors because they are easier to install for everyday homeowners. You might not always have the option to pick which fitment you want because ultimately the construction of the fireplace determines what will work and what will not.

The custom category above includes over 120 masonry fireplace doors that can be ordered to fit any size opening. It is our most common category and is a great place to start if you aren't sure what you are looking for. You will find a wide range of different frame styles and profiles, and don't forget you can filter this category by using our refined search feature. For example if you are looking for a fireplace door in a particular finish or material, you can search by that. If you only want it to display doors that can fit a certain size fireplace, you can search by that too.

You can find our most budget friendly custom fireplace doors in this category and our most premium ones. One thing that is important to mention is that custom glass fireplace doors scale in price based on the opening dimensions you enter on the product page. There is a price calculator on every product page that will provide you with an accurate updated price after you enter your opening sizes. Additional options such as premium finishes, door designs, mesh, and draft assemblies have flat upcharges. Custom fireplace doors can have a wide scaling price range depending on these sizes so it is important you factor that into your options.

Suspended Opening / 4-Sided Overlap Fireplace Doors

Medio 4-sided Overlap Masonry Fireplace DoorSuspended masonry fireplace openings are rather common and we offer custom fireplace doors that are specifically made for these types of openings. The biggest difference between these openings and traditional ones is that suspended openings don't have a hearth or floor for the fireplace door to sit on. This requires the door to overlap on all 4 sides of the opening instead of just 3.

Not all fireplace doors can be made to fit suspended fireplace openings which is why we have created their own category to make your shopping easier. Overlap style fireplace doors require a relatively flat surface to sit up against whether that is brick, stone, tile, or another facing material. Some masonry fireplaces have large rough stone with a lot of variation in its depth and protrusion, in these cases overlap style doors would not be recommended. If you have large, rough, or uneven stone we would recommend an inside fit door instead.

Four-sided fireplace doors are a great choice for your hole in the wall fireplace, but for those with a hearth that is level with the firebox floor, you need a 3-sided overlap or inside fit door instead. Many masonry fireplace doors need a hearth for the frame of your fireplace door to sit on, but a four-sided fireplace door doesn’t! As a matter of fact, a four-sided overlap fireplace door cannot be installed on fireplaces that have a flush or raised hearth. But, if your fireplace doesn’t have a hearth and is a "hole in the wall", a 4-sided overlap fireplace door is fine! Check out our article on how important it is to know your hearth position! Proper installation of your new fireplace door is essential to the longevity of the door. All of the products we sell are designed to last for years. Remember that it is still imperative to measure your fireplace correctly. You can learn more about how to measure your fireplace here, or use our handy Snapshot Quote feature so that we can help you!

Inside Fit Fireplace Doors

Thinline Inside Fit Fireplace Door

If you aren't interested in a fireplace door that sits outside of your opening, our inside fit doors will provide the flush fit you are looking for. As we mentioned above inside fit doors have an extra installation step that requires a little bit more effort overall. These doors are made slightly smaller than the fireplace opening sizes you provide, this allows the new door to fit within the opening with minimal gaps. Even though the gaps are minimal they are still there, so you will need to fill them with mortar or silicone in order to finish the installation.

Inside fit doors are not available in standard or fixed sizes, which means they will always be custom made to fit your exact opening. We offer a variety of high quality and budget friendly inside fit masonry doors. You may have noticed that overlap fit doors tend to have wider or larger frames, but inside fit doors have thin frames that obscure the least amount of viewing area. You wouldn't want to sacrifice your viewing area especially if you are working with a smaller fireplace opening, and you won't have to with our low profile inside fit doors. By design they have a modern and slim appearance and can pair well with regular brick, tile, veneer stone, or marble faced fireplace openings.

 
 

 

Ceramic Glass Masonry Fireplace Doors

Cascade Masonry Fireplace Door with Ceramic Glass OptionIt is always necessary to have your fireplace doors open while burning if the fireplace door uses tempered glass. Our ceramic glass fireplace doors allow you to have the option to close your doors while burning without having to worry about your glass breaking or shattering due to the high heat and stress.

It is essential that your masonry fireplace doors have ceramic glass when you choose to close your doors while burning. What’s the reason behind it? It’s because ceramic glass is specifically designed to withstand heat. All regular doors feature tempered glasses that can only handle temperatures up to 400°F. Regardless of the type of glass you use, flames can't touch the glass and you need to use a grate to keep flames a minimum of 6" away from your fireplace doors.

Only certain fireplace doors are capable of having ceramic glass which is why we have created their own separate category where you can shop for them. Ceramic glass can easily resist high heat as we mentioned above but it can be rather fragile, because of this ceramic glass is only available on "cabinet style" glass doors. This just means instead of 4 panes of glass there will be 2 which does provide you with a cleaner viewing area. Ceramic glass doors are heavy duty wood burning fireplace doors.

 

Air Sealed Masonry Fireplace Doors

Fullview Air Sealed Masonry Fireplace DoorHave you ever wondered why there is always a distinct odor in your house whenever you light your fireplace? Despite having your masonry fireplace doors closed, the smell of the soot left in your fireplace can still escape and make its way into your house you simply can’t stand it anymore, consider installing air sealed masonry fireplace doors to significantly reduce the odor!

Upgrading your fireplace to air sealed glass masonry fireplace doors will not only get rid of the odor but also help boost the efficiency of your masonry fireplace by eliminating excess air loss. Air sealed fireplace doors are also an option since gasket doors are no longer required due to recent changes to the ICC code. With our air sealed fireplace doors, you can make a hassle-free purchase and install the doors yourself with professional guidance from us! The fireplace door provides a tight seal by the gasket being compressed between the door and main frame. Door gaskets run behind the cabinet doors so that when they are closed they make full contact with the frame providing a tight seal. It is worth noting that these fireplace doors still let some amount of air in as gasket alone is not capable of stopping all airflow.

Air sealed fireplace doors are generally made from 1/4" to 3/16" laser cut steel, which makes them incredibly durable and able to withstand high temperatures for long periods of time. These fireplace doors really are built to last a lifetime. They are on average more expensive than your standard fireplace doors but they also serve a more specific purpose such as sealing off the interior of your home from your fireplace, and improving the efficiency of your heating and cooling. Air sealed doors have ceramic glass options as the two pair well together, a regular air sealed fireplace door would not be able to be closed while burning unless it also had ceramic glass installed.

 

Corner Masonry Doors

Brookfield Corner Masonry Fireplace DoorIf you have a corner masonry fireplace these are the doors you will be looking for. Corner masonry fireplace doors are available in many different models and styles just like regular masonry fireplace doors. There is some more work when it comes to measuring for a corner fireplace door, but don't worry we have you covered. We will walk you through all of the important details below.

This type of fireplace door isn’t quite easy to find, unlike conventional box-type ones. However, we make it easy for you as we offer top-notch corner masonry doors to match your contemporary space. When you use our handy snapshot quote, we can guarantee that the doors will fit perfectly and make your fire more efficient, with fewer worries about excess smoke emissions. You can also opt for additional spark protection to optimize the safety of your corner fireplace!

Corner fireplace doors have all of the options that regular fireplace doors have, sometimes even more! For example you can request to have fixed glass panels on the short side of your opening, and operable glass doors on the long side. You can add sliding or gate mesh behind either side or both sides, and you still have a large range of finishes to select from. Corner doors take a little bit longer to fabricate and ship but the average lead time is 4-6 weeks.

Overlap and inside fitments still apply to corner fireplace doors. Your fireplace opening will determine which fitment is best, and sometimes you will have the option to go with either one. We know that it can be challenging to find the right corner door and make sure it is ordered correctly so it arrives the way you want. You can call us directly and we will walk you through the process, or you can fill out the quote form above and we will review your pictures and information and send you compatible suggestions.

Fixed Panel and See-Through Fireplace Doors

Cascade Fixed Panel Fireplace Door for See-Through FireplacesFixed panel fireplace doors are made specifically for see-through or double-sided fireplaces. Fixed panel means that there is no operable glass door, in order to take the door off you would need to remove the hinge pins which hold the glass door onto the front of the frame. These types of doors are popular with see-through fireplaces because often people want to keep one side closed off, and use an operable door on the other side.

This has the potential to cause complications if you have an incompatible fireplace, use the wrong type of door, or don't have adequate venting. Our fixed panel masonry doors are built with a 1/4" air gap between the frame and the door to allow the appropriate amount of airflow into the firebox. This acts as a damper while also providing a closed-off look on one side of the fireplace. Most importantly these doors are compliant with fire safety codes.

Fixed panel fireplace doors for see-through fireplaces can be ordered as overlap fit or inside fit depending on what your fireplace requires. They offer a range of options such as finish colors, glass tints, fitment type, and easy mounting. These doors can't have a "cabinet" or "bi-fold" style as the main door is one solid panel.

Mesh Masonry Doors

Masonry Mesh Fireplace DoorsMake your vent-free fireplace even safer by adding mesh fireplace doors to it. Masonry mesh fireplace doors serve as additional protection from sparks, ashes, and embers emitted from your burning fireplace. Mesh fireplace doors are a great alternative to glass if you prefer not to have tempered or ceramic fireplace doors. Mesh masonry fireplace doors are specifically intended for fireplaces that have a vent-free gas log set installed. These doors are built with a mesh screen in place of glass. As vent-free fireplaces do not have a chimney for the smoke and ash to exit, mesh doors will help improve air circulation for optimized safety and heat. For this to make your fireplace as efficient as possible, the door or screen should be sized to fit under the leading edge of any hood that is part of the unit. There should be open space from under the hood to the top of the mesh door to allow heat to leave the unit. Due to extreme temperatures, we cannot guarantee finishes on products used for vent-free applications. We know how important style and personal preferences are in terms of home designing, so we offer these mesh doors in different styles and colors! You’ll find something as unique as you are and the place you call home with us. And remember, shipping is free!

You can also use mesh fireplace doors on regular masonry fireplaces that are vented. Some people don't like the look of glass doors and prefer to have mesh ones instead, and it also provides you with the added benefit of being able to close your door while burning. If you have a vented fireplace and a vented gas log set you would also be required to keep your glass doors open, but with mesh doors the air can easily pass through. It also serves to protect your family and pets from the flames or sparks that may be present.

Masonry fireplace doors can be called many different names. Sometimes people search for fireplace glass door replacement, wood burning fireplace doors, iron fireplace doors etc. The important thing is knowing what type of fireplace you have because that will determine the door that you need to buy. Prefab and Masonry doors are not interchangeable because their structures are fundamentally different. Masonry doors are more heavy duty and made of thicker steel / iron, but there are also masonry doors made from lighter metals like aluminum. In the world of fireplace doors there are many different types of variations and materials used depending mostly on the manufacturer of the door. If you are unsure what type of fireplace you have you can read our quick guide to find out, and if you need a refresher on how to measure your masonry fireplace we have a guide for that too!

What is the difference between indoor and outdoor fireplace doors

The only difference is the material. When it comes to your outdoor fireplace door it needs to be able to withstand environmental exposure. There are also several designs to match your style.

We have fireplace doors with designs and a variety of finishes such as:

  • A variety of choices for handles like handcrafted, iron, brass, etc.
  • Glass - cabinet or bi-fold
  • Glass tints
  • High-quality metals like steel and aluminum

Now we get to the ceramic glass and tempered glass part. 

What is the difference between ceramic and tempered glass?

You see it all the time in action movies: a skylight shatters sending thousands of deadly shards of glass showering on the hero who miraculously isn’t hurt. The reality, though, is that if that had happened to the skylight, it wouldn't be so dramatic or deadly.  Most skylights today are made from tempered glass, the same glass on most of our fireplace doors!

Although the glass is a safer glass to use due to the shattering and the withstand, it is still important to be informed and to make an educated purchase. The glass on your fireplace or stove serves many purposes but it's good to know all the ins and outs of the glass and how to choose. Let's get this started on the glass education. Don't worry this is not going to take long.

Tempered glass is made with your safety in mind. When broken it does shatter but in smaller, harmless pieces. Tempered glass is also much more durable than ordinary, annealed glass. Ordinary glass breaks at about 6,000 psi (pounds per square inch) while tempered glass generally breaks at 24,000 psi. Tempered glass is made using a heat process (or in some cases a chemical process) that creates tension and compression in the glass. This gives the glass the durability it needs to stand up to the heat of your fireplace!

Ceramic glass is a little different. Formed in a two-step process, ceramic glass (called PyroCeram) encourages crystalline growth in the second phase of production. In this process the growth of crystals is controlled, allowing uniform growth within the glass. Ordinarily, crystal growth isn’t a good thing, but with ceramic glass, you get the advantages of glass with the durability of ceramics. This may not seem like such a big deal, but consider that your wood stove's glass window is made out of ceramic glass due to its durability and its ability to withstand extreme heat.  Originally ceramic glass wasn’t even designed for cooktops or fireplace doors and stoves, but telescopes!

Ceramic glass is most commonly used with wood, coal, and pellet stoves because ceramic glass can withstand continuous temperatures exceeding 1000° F. Wood burning stoves are used with the door closed, so it’s important that the glass used in the window be able to handle the intense heat put off by the stove. Ceramic glass is also used for ceramic glass fireplace doors when manufacturers think that the heat may exceed what tempered glass can handle. Tempered glass is far more common when it comes to fireplace doors! Since you shouldn’t burn your fireplace with the fireplace doors closed, tempered glass isn’t exposed to the extreme heat that could potentially damage or shatter it. It tends to be less expensive than ceramic glass, making it easier to replace damaged panels on your fire.

FAQs

Why are Fireplace Doors Necessary?

  • SAFETY
    • They keep your loved ones safe!
    • It goes without saying that the flames from a roaring fire are intriguing to look at, and on particularly cold days, you can't help but cozy up to the hearth. This sounds wonderful and alluring, but stop and think for one moment about the curious little creatures and small, often precarious children in your home. The inviting warmth and ambiance of the flames in an open fireplace can be a little too enticing for them, and the last thing you want is an injury. Fireplace doors with glass help to keep everyone protected.
    • For an added safety measure: keep little hands away from the hot glass by placing a decorative fireplace screen in front of the doors. There are several protective folding varieties available that will add even more beauty and character to your already attractive hearth!
    • They are more reliable than mesh screens!
    • While hanging mesh fireplace screens do provide a small measure of safety, they are not as secure as a fireplace door. Glass barriers significantly reduce the risk of damage by keeping sparks and embers within the fireplace, and children and pets out! Without them, the likelihood of hot cinders flying around and damaging carpet and furnishing, or logs rolling out and causing harm is a lot higher. Adding a door to your fireplace is a secure and inexpensive way to keep dangerous hazards contained, and your home and loved ones safe!
    • They keep dangerous downdrafts from entering your living space!
    • Installing glass doors for your fireplace has been proven to reduce downdrafts from the chimney. This incident of aggressive air paths from winter storms pulls dangerous smoke into your home and can cause a multitude of problems. In the event of a downdraft, it is also possible that embers will escape the hearth and cause damage, or even worse, a fire. Closing your glass doors eliminates the hazards that accompany downdrafts.
  • EFFICIENCY
    • Fireplace doors are actually more efficient than chimney dampers!
    • Dampers are metal plates that regulate airflow in your chimney. Newly installed units fit like a glove, but after a year or two, they tend to warp and allow extra air to pass into the chimney. Instead of relying solely on the damper, you could simply add fireplace doors and greatly reduce the cost of your home’s heating and cooling bills. Prevent warm air from escaping your home during the winter, and keep cool air inside during the summer. 
    • Closing your glass doors will act as a barrier that encases the heat source!
    • This results in more heat being generated from the firewood. Heat is absorbed and radiated through the glass, and the output is more substantial than that of an open fireplace. This means you'll need less wood to generate warmth!

Do Fireplace Doors with Glass Help a Fireplace?

Yes! Glass doors are great for helping your fire burn more efficiently. The glass doors will produce more heat and radiate the heat into your room better. They are a great way to control the heat and fire within your fireplace. 

What is a Masonry Fireplace?

A masonry fireplace is built at the time of your home being built by a mason. They are usually made of brick or stone and mortar and part of your home structure.  

How do I Know if my Fireplace is Masonry?

There are a few ways you can verify if your fireplace is masonry. Taking the time to play detective and look at a few different aspects of your fireplace is the least time consuming and efficient way to tell. You will want to look at the following things: 

  • The firebox within the fireplace and if the firebox is built of individual firebrick
  • If you have a brick chimney
  • Built with brick or stone and mortar
