Project #10736 - Glass Doors for Stone Fireplace (1 of 2)
Customer Comments: Attached are updated photos of fireplaces for design. Prefer inside fit due to stone facing on wall.
Our Comments: We have created the same mockups for both fireplaces. These are some of the narrowest fireplace frames, so they won't shrink the opening so much when fit inside. We will leave about 1/4" gap from the smallest width and height, which will need to be filled with mortar.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 24" 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 #2: Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel (brushed aluminum) with 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.
High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #4: EDGE-HHFL 3/16" Edge Fireplace Door Frame in Black with Statuary Bronze (solid brass) Doors and Mesh Curtains.
Option #5: EDGE-HHFL 3/16" Edge Fireplace Door Frame in Satin Nickel (solid brass) with 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.
