Outside Fireplace Doors

Your indoor fireplace is not the only one that needs a set of fireplace doors. It’s important to remember that if you have an outdoor fireplace – they need them too! Just like indoor fireplace doors, outside fireplace doors are available in both bi-fold and cabinet styles.

When getting ready to purchase your outside fireplace door, it’s imperative that you choose the best door for you. Only certain colors and materials will hold up well against Mother Nature, and you want to make sure that your outside fireplace door will last you for an extended time.

Stainless steel doors are a bit pricier, but will hold up the best in all types of weather. This material holds up better than any other outside fireplace doors on the market. There are also doors that have a powder coat finish. This finish helps to retain the color of the door – however – darker doors are still likely to fade. There are other finishes available for an outside fireplace door, but the powder coat finish also comes highly recommended.

For most indoor fireplaces, you will want to have a fireplace screen. However, in your outside fireplace door you will not. Fireplace screens that are in an outside fireplace door are subject to rusting  due to weather. Over the years outdoor fireplaces have become increasingly popular, and having a fireplace door will help to  complete and refine the look of your fireplace!

Fireplace Glass Doors – Quick Ship

Sometimes you just don’t have time to wait three, six, or even twelve weeks for your new fireplace glass door to be ready and we totally understand that.  Which is why we carry a great line of ready to order, or quickly engineered, doors that can be sent out within a week and at your door in about two weeks. 

If you think getting a door that fast is going to be expensive, that’s not necessarily true.  Although the price of fireplace doors can vary significantly depending on the size of the door, the materials used and the detail involved, most are very reasonable.  Especially when you consider how long that fireplace door will probably last.  The door you select can be as temporary or permanent as you want it to be and could potentially be there long after you’ve left that home behind.

So many of our customers actually decide to purchase a fireplace glass door at the last minute because of a special event, construction project, or holiday that we decided to dedicate a portion of our webstore specifically to that need.  If you check out our Quick-Ship Fireplace Glass Doors page, you’ll see quite a few options, all built and shipped out in 7 days or less.

Once you’ve made the decision that you need your door quickly you’ll most likely start to worry about the small selection being attractive and high quality and the good news is, they are!  I know you’re thinking it’s too good to be true, but really, they’re great doors.  Now, in order to get these to customers quickly most manufacturers stock materials in certain colors or with certain options, to keep things simple, but that doesn’t mean you can’t choose any options to your specifications.  Many have the option to choose the door style, mesh type, color, and size; although you will want to make sure once you start choosing options, the door is still available quickly.  Some options make a door take a bit longer because parts need to be ordered or they take longer to engineer.

So if you’re planning a special event and need that glass door installed or you’re just fed up with the draft coming down your chimney and into your living room, now is as good a time as any to buy your new door!
