Decor Fireplace Glass Door Product Review

Tuesday, December 9, 2008 0 comments Posted by Stephanie H.
When I was first introduced to the Decor Fireplace Glass Door, I was surprised to find that it had more stock sizes than any other door I had ever seen. Having over 50 stock sizes available really make this door a convenient purchase for homeowners. This is an entry level door, but it’s definitely on a higher level than fireplace doors that you might find in your local big box store.

The style of the door is designed to mimic a picture frame, which really helps to make your fireplace a focal point in the room. The stock frame has a series of beveled edges that really give the door some dimension. An added plus is that the frame is available in eight different finishes.

What really sets this door apart is its versatility. The Decor fireplace door can be purchased with or without the decorative ‘insert’. This is not a common feature so most homeowners don’t know what this is. The insert is a flat strip of metal with its own finish (available in eight finishes). It slides into the contours of the Decor frame and sits in the middle, covering the inner contours while exposing the outer beveled edge. This feature gives the door the ability to have two finishes which enables you to have an uniquely styled door.

This is a great feature, but it gets even better. Let’s say you design the Decor to match your current homes interior decoration and five years later you change the furnishings in the room. In most situations you would have to buy a new fireplace door to match, but with the Decor Fireplace Glass Door you can simply purchase new inserts, and presto – you have a whole new look to your fireplace door. You can further customize the door by changing the finish for the door handle and glass channel and even pick your own glass color.

The Good:

• A ton of stock sizes which keeps the pricing low
• Versatile design – looks great with the stock door or with the inserts
• Great price point
• In stock – so it ships quick

The Not-so-good:

• Because you have to burn with the doors open, if you have a wood burning fireplace a screen mesh is a must (most homeowners want this anyways as at some point you will want to burn the fire with the doors open)

Bottom Line:

Versatility and style at a great price point. If you are looking for a nice entry level fireplace door, this is one of the best.

Hammered Edge Fireplace Doors Product Review

The Hammered Edge Fireplace Door is one of the most popular high end fireplace doors on the market. This particular fireplace door is unique because it features hammered distressing on the edges of the steel frame, giving it a beautiful old world design. The quaint acorn hinges enhance this old world effect. The vertically curved handles are charming and make opening and closing the fireplace doors convenient.

This fireplace door is made from a heavy duty laser cut steel frame which means there are no seams, no welds, and no sagging hinges. It is available in the standard width size of 1 ½”, but is also offered in 1” and 2” widths. As a general rule, the larger the fireplace, the wider the frame should be. The Hammered Edge comes with a powder coat finish so there will be no rusting and the fireplace glass door will last for generations. It only comes in the vintage iron finish, but it is offered in almost any size since it is hand crafted to the specifications of each order. I think these fireplace glass doors would go remarkably well with a stone fireplace to complete the old world feel, and they can be installed as an inside or outside fit.

The hidden draft assembly of this fireplace glass door allows you to burn your fire with the doors closed while still allowing air to feed your fire. I feel that this is definitely a great choice if you have pets or children. A note of caution: some manufacturers don’t recommend that you burn a fire with the fireplace doors closed. If the fire is too large or too hot, it could conceivably cause the glass to break. A reasonable fire in a normal size fireplace should be fine. Check the paper work supplied by the fireplace door manufacturer for more information.

The Hammered Edge fireplace glass door is made of standard 1/4" thick tempered glass which is able to withstand high temperatures and resist breakage. Although clear glass goes nicely with any frame, there are three other colors tints you can choose from. This fireplace door works great with an electric fireplace heater. You can follow the link to read more about how to install a heater with a fireplace door.

There is only one minor drawback to the Hammered Edge fireplace door. This is not an in stock door and because of the added distressing features of the frame, the build time of 3-4 weeks is slightly longer than most custom fireplace doors. If you have the time and are willing to wait, you will definitely be satisfied with these fireplace glass doors.

Cameo Fireplace Glass Doors

Thursday, December 4, 2008 0 comments Posted by Stephanie H.
Conventional fireplace doors do not suit every taste. In particular, it can be difficult and frustrating for homeowners and interior designers to find a door that compliments modern decor. The Cameo Fireplace Glass Door is a fitting choice when a sleek, low-profile, and modern fireplace door is in order. The Cameo's anodized aluminum frame has a svelte 7/8" mitered frame with the Thermo-Rite signature "glass-in-frame" design. This translates to a door whose broad appeal is to those who believe that, when it comes to decor, sometimes less is more. And more is what you get with this door, despite its slim construction.

Each corner of this fireplace door is custom mitered and assembled with internal gussets which reinforce the frame and provide substantial support for the 1/4" thick tempered glass doors. Easy adjustment screws on the operable doors make the door simple to install and maintain. If wood is the fuel of choice, this door comes with an optional mesh curtain or a solid panel internal mesh door for spark protection while the glass is opened for fires.

Eight frame finish options, both traditional and contemporary, are available to satisfy a variety of specific wants and needs. The door handles and glass channel can be made to match the finish of choice. However, if a more unique appearance is preferred, a custom finish of Pewter, Antique or Stainless is offered.

Made to overlap or fit inside a fireplace opening, this custom fireplace door comes in every size imaginable. How you ask? Each one is custom made to the exact specifications of the buyer. There are no stock Cameo doors, just a menu of options and choices. A favorite among custom fireplace glass doors, the Cameo delivers all of this and still has one of the most affordable price tags in the industry.

Revere Fireplace Glass Door

Traditional fireplace glass doors never go out of style. Simple yet elegant, these types of doors can suit almost any home. If you are in the market for fireplace doors, but don’t want the typical wait of several weeks for a custom made door, you have the option of choosing an in stock fireplace door. One such door is the Revere Fireplace Glass Door.

This neat and stylish door is a solid brass enclosure with 3” panels all around and a center draft control. It is created in three choices of finish color: Polished Brass, Antique Brass, and Black. The doors only come in a bifold style - but you can decide if you want them on a track or if you want them to open completely out of the way and be trackless.

Another choice you will have is glass color. The ¼” glass comes standard in tinted Bronze, but you may also choose Clear or Grey. To add character to your fireplace, beveled glass is an additional option. I should mention that any glass option on the Revere Fireplace Glass Door other than standard Bronze is a special order and requires additional days for building.

A fireplace heater system can be used in combination with these fireplace doors and can significantly add efficiency to masonry fireplaces. Since this is an in stock door, it is only made to be an overlap fit. Installation will be easy with just a few simple screws!

Overall, this is a great door because it has a classic look, relatively quick shipping time, and a reasonable price tag.
