Project #10625 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: We are looking at the Savannah style. Our opening is 43" wide x 28" high. We like the vintage iron color, and think we want the twin gate mesh panel doors.
Our Comments: The Savannah is not really appropriate for your rough stone fireplace. We need a door that can fit inside and then the gaps need to be filled with mortar. Doors that are mortared in should have a subframe where the motor can stick to and the Savannah does not have that. SO here are some options that we suggest will not only be easier to install, but will look much nicer.
Fireplace Opening: 43" W x 28" 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.
