Project 10209 - Glass Doors for Brick Fireplace
Customer Request: I just removed an old door and gas log set. Would like to replace. I think I want bi-fold doors. Probably some sort of bronze finish, or maybe black. Nothing shiny or modern looking. Trying to keep with 1930s style of the house. Thanks
Our Comments: We have created several examples of doors in a variety of price ranges. We believe that the more hand crafted Craftsman and Armada steel doors are most in keeping with the 1930s style. The Carolina is the least expensive steel door and the Brookfield is an example of an aluminum door that is the least expensive of all.
Fireplace Opening: 34 1/4" W x 30 1/2" H
Note: These mock-ups are not to scale and are meant to help you choose the model of your screen or door, not the finish. Although we may create a general representation of black, iron, bronze, gold and silver tones, you must choose your finish from our samples using the links below. Ask your project manager which samples apply to the items in your project.

Mesh & Insulation Options
The Mesh options are behind the glass so you can burn the fire with the doors open and still have spark protection. Great for real wood or gas logs since most gas long manufacturers insist that you have a screen in front of the logs when they are burning. Mesh panel doors are the most popular and are best for when there are toddlers present because they will not open backwards whereas the mesh screens are easily pushed in. Insulation goes between the back of the frame and the fireplace facing, providing a better seal.
Black Mesh Curtains - These slide back and forth on a rod behind the glass
Gate Mesh Doors - These are separate doors behind the glass that have a flat wire mesh and a black frame.
Insulation: Provides a better seal between the fireplace face and the door frame.
