Project #10735 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: Need glass door and inside of fireplace refinished. I need some ideas looking to get done ASAP. Thank you.
Our Comments: Here are some ideas for glass doors. Any doors you choose will need to be custom made because of the overhanging ledge. We can make a door overlap the sides and fit under the ledge. We can also make the opening look wider by using fixed end panels on the door or even adding glass panels to the fixed end panels. We were not sure about finish choices since you did not supply a picture of the room decor, so if there is some other finish you would prefer, please let us know.
Fireplace Opening: 34" W x 23 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.

Before:
Low End Aluminum Doors
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Option #1: Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Natural Iron with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains..
Medium Range Steel Doors
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #3: Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Silver with Extra Wide Side Frame. Shown with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #4: Legend Fireplace Glass Door with Steel Fixed End Panels in Vintage Iron. Shown with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.

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.
