Masonry Fireplace Doors
Masonry fireplace doors are custom-built enclosures designed specifically for traditional, site-built fireplaces constructed from brick, stone, or block. Unlike factory-built fireplaces, these structures often have unique dimensions and finishes, making it essential to choose a fireplace door that’s both functional and perfectly tailored.
Whether you're looking to enhance safety, reduce energy loss, or give your hearth a fresh new look, our high-quality wood burning fireplace glass doors are a trusted solution. These doors help minimize heat loss up the chimney when the fireplace is not in use, while also acting as a protective barrier against sparks and debris.
We offer a wide selection of fireplace doors for masonry fireplaces that fit a variety of styles, from sleek modern finishes to classic wrought iron frames.
If you're replacing an old, outdated masonry fireplace door or starting from scratch, our team makes it easy to find the perfect fit.
Why Choose Masonry Fireplace Doors?
Upgrading to masonry fireplace doors is one of the most effective ways to improve the safety, efficiency, and appearance of your masonry fireplace. Whether you're installing a new door or replacing an old masonry fireplace door, the benefits go far beyond aesthetics.
✅ Improve Energy Efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of installing fireplace doors is the reduction in heat loss. An open masonry fireplace can allow warm air to escape up the chimney when not in use. Wood burning fireplace doors act as a thermal barrier, helping to keep warm air inside during winter and prevent cool air from escaping during summer.
✅ Increase Fire Safety
Fireplace glass doors provide a protective shield between the open flames and your living space. This added layer helps prevent sparks, embers, or logs from falling out which is especially important in homes with pets or small children.
✅ Enhance Your Home’s Style
With dozens of styles, finishes, and glass fireplace door options available, you can transform a basic fireplace into a stunning focal point. From clean-lined modern designs to rustic or traditional styles, our fireplace doors are built to match your décor.
✅ Keep Debris and Odors Out
When your fireplace isn’t in use, wood burning fireplace glass doors help block unpleasant chimney drafts, outdoor odors, and debris from entering your home. This keeps your space cleaner and more comfortable year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are masonry fireplace doors, and how are they different from prefab doors?
A: Masonry fireplace doors are designed specifically for traditional, site-built fireplaces made of brick, stone, or block. These fireplaces are custom-built into the home’s structure. In contrast, prefab (or factory-built) fireplaces require different doors due to their standardized sizing and materials. Always check your fireplace type before selecting fireplace doors.
Q: How do I know if I have a masonry fireplace?
A: You likely have a masonry fireplace if your firebox is constructed of brick or stone and has a chimney made from the same materials. Most masonry fireplaces have rectangular openings and a solid, built-in structure. This type of setup requires masonry fireplace doors, not prefab fireplace doors.
Q: Can fireplace doors improve heating efficiency?
A: Yes. Masonry fireplace doors especially models with ceramic glass and optional draft assemblies can significantly reduce heat loss when the fireplace is not in use. They also help prevent cold air from entering your home through the chimney, making them an energy-efficient choice for wood or gas burning masonry fireplaces.
Q: Can I install fireplace doors myself?
A: Most fireplace doors are designed for DIY installation with basic tools. However, if you're purchasing arched or corner masonry fireplace doors, professional installation may be recommended for best results.
Q: Are glass fireplace doors safe to use with a burning fire?
A: Yes, glass fireplace doors with ceramic glass, sometimes referred to as wood burning fireplace doors, are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures of a wood burning fireplace. These models allow you to enjoy the fire with the doors closed while maintaining safety and heat containment. Regular tempered glass doors must remain open while the fire is burning as tempered glass cannot withstand high heat for long periods of time.
Q: How do I install a fireplace door?
A: Every fireplace door comes with installation instructions and the necessary hardware. Installation methods vary between models, but most doors attach with metal brackets and lintel clamps. The brackets are secured to the back of the door frame and anchored within the firebox. Watch our Types of Fireplace Door Installations video for more information.
