Customer Comments: Hello, we are looking into polished fireplace doors for our very formal living room. The stone fireplace in our family room measures about 34 1/2 by 28 and the living room is about 36 x 30 1/2.
Our Comments: Here are several examples of high quality solid brass and wrought iron fireplace doors that will look great with your stone fireplace. All of the options below except for the last one are shown as an inside fit with mortar filling the gaps between the stones and the door frame. Read further comments about the solid brass on the Living Room Project.
Fireplace Opening: 34 1/2" W x 28" H

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.
