Project #10624 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: Hi - I've attached a few photos of my fireplace. I also have put a set of doors in my wishlist - besides your suggestions I'd like to see a mock with the doors in my wish list (the account was established with the same email address from which I'm sending this message). Mission style or plain doors might work well with the fireplace.
Our Comments: The window pane choices are great for your fireplace. Which one you choose is more subjective than anything else, so we have created mockups of all 3. We also added a "Featured Door" from a different high end manufacturer that has tastefully subtle hand crafted details for a bit more character. We did this one in a contrasting finish to show how it really makes the fireplace "pop". You can do a similar finish with the other 3 doors as well.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
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.
