Review of Blacksmith Fireplace Door

The Blacksmith Arch Fireplace Door is another uniquely styled door. I really like the all-over indentations and acorn hinges that give this custom fireplace door an old world style. The arched design offers a grand feel to the overall ambiance of an evening near the fireside. The price of these fireplace doors are based on your fireplace measurements. Your dimensions are then used to create a fireplace door exclusively for your fireplace thus ensuring a perfect fit.

The Blacksmith Arch Fireplace Glass Door can be installed as an inside or overlap fit with a frame width of 1”, 1 ½”, or 2”. If you have a very large fireplace, I would recommend the widest width; a small fireplace-the smallest width. The powder coat finish is more resistant to chipping, scratching, and rust than older fireplace doors because new technology is used to coat the surface of the steel. The standard ¼” tempered glass can be fashioned in cabinet style doors (which open straight out into the room) or trackless bi-fold doors (can open and fold back out of the way). If you have a wood burning fireplace, I would recommend a screen mesh door to prevent airborne sparks and embers from escaping while the fireplace glass doors are open. These are usually available for an additional cost, but I feel they are well worth the extra expense to ensure the safety of you and your home.

An Electric Fireplace Heater may be used with these fireplace doors to dramatically increase hot air coming from your fireplace. This will allow you to stay a step ahead of rising energy costs while also keeping your family warm.

Because these fireplace doors are constructed of heavy duty steel and features a hammered texture, they complement natural materials such as stone and brick.

The build time of this door is typically 6-8 weeks- longer than your average in stock doors; but the distinctive features give this custom fireplace door an appeal that you will enjoy for years to come.
