Air Sealed Fireplace Doors
Enhance your fireplace with our air sealed fireplace doors, designed to reduce drafts, limit odors, and improve energy efficiency.

Most air sealed doors are custom-sized, cabinet-style designs, made to order for a perfect fit.
What Makes Air Sealed Fireplace Doors Different?
Air sealed doors are built with precision gasketing and airtight construction, keeping cold air, debris, and unpleasant odors from entering your home. Unlike standard or fixed-size doors, these models provide a higher level of insulation, making your living space more comfortable year-round.
The optional ceramic glass upgrade can withstand higher temperatures than tempered glass, enhancing both safety and style. Whether your fireplace is rarely used or you simply want to improve airflow control, an air sealed door provides a noticeable difference.

Cabinet-Style Door Design
To accommodate gasketing and ceramic glass, airtight fireplace doors are only available in cabinet-style models. This design ensures the door seals tightly against the fireplace opening, maximizing energy efficiency and draft control.
While there are limited standard size options, most of these doors are custom-sized and made to order, providing a perfect fit for any masonry fireplace. A tailored cabinet-style door not only seals better but also enhances the overall look of your fireplace.
Please Note: Air sealed fireplace doors can NOT be installed on prefabricated or factory-built fireplaces. These types of doors are for masonry fireplaces only. If you own a prefab fireplace visit our Prefab Fireplace Doors category for compatible options.

Why Air Sealed Doors Are Worth the Investment
Airtight fireplace doors are a premium choice, but the added cost reflects their long-term value. Unlike standard doors, they are built with precision gasketing and custom cabinet-style frames that deliver noticeable results in both comfort and efficiency. By sealing off your fireplace when it’s not in use, these doors prevent drafts from creeping in and keep unpleasant odors from circulating through your home. Over time, this can even contribute to lower heating costs as less warm air escapes through the fireplace.
Beyond the practical benefits, air sealed doors also provide peace of mind. Each set is made to order, ensuring a tailored fit that not only functions flawlessly but also enhances the look of your fireplace. For homeowners who want to combine comfort, style, and performance, air sealed doors are a smart, lasting investment.
