fireplace door glass
|
i am considering fabricating some doors and frame for my fireplace but i
am having a hard time finding just the glass..googeling for fireplace
door glass brings up complete doors..any help would be appreciated
|
Just look for a glass company in your phone book, and tell them
what you're after.

Do you know you must order the glass made to size. You can not cut it
once it is processed. A local glass company, likely one that works with the
local fire place shops should be able to take care of you.

I believe the glass in a fireplace door is tempered. Did you realize
that? Using regular glass might break when exposed to the reflected heat.

CJ, if you are looking to save the heat in your house (and any produced by
the fire) from going straight up the chimney the glass doors may help a
tiny bit. But if you are really looking to cut down on the lost heat I
would really suggest looking at a new wood stove. Plus, most stoves have
an air wash system that will keep that new glass from turning black after 2
fires and prevent you from seeing anything anyway.
|
If you have both solid glass doors, and and external combustion-air
supply, a fireplace should be able to get to nearly 1/3d as
efficient as a stove.

Maybe try an inquiry at a woodstove shop?

If you are looking for glass for a fireplace, it needs to be a special
type of temperd glass that is heat resistant and able to withstand
high temps. If you are interested, we can order you some and cut it
to your sizes however, I must warn you that it is pretty expensive. I
believe it's somewhere in the $400 price range for a standard opening.
