Project #10586 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: I would like to get a quote for a fireplace door with bronze glass and interior screen doors. The size is exactly 33 in high by 46 in wide. The fireplace is masonry, and includes a Heatilator box for extracting a little heat. The original door was a standard size in the Sears or JC Penney catalog when I built the house in 1983.
Our Comments: Whatever door you choose will need to have a custom frame size in order to cover the bricks on the sides. This is best done with steel doors that can be laser cut to any frame width as shown below. We will need to know the inside width and height of the brick opening as well as the overall size of the previous door.
Fireplace Opening: 46" W x 33" 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.
