Project #10801 - Glass Doors for Tile Fireplace
Customer Comments: Hi, I'm looking for options for a custom fireplace door. The width of my opening is 35" and the height is 23-1/4". I have been looking at the carolina window pane style. Pictures are attached. I would like to know how it would look and how much overlap the frame would have. I want a black finish, but now sure about the rustic vs. the textured.
Our Comments: The Carolina door comes with the option of a 1 1/2" frame that overlaps anywhere from 1/4" to 1" or a 2" frame that overlaps anywhere from 1/4" to 1 1/2". We cannot show the difference between the rustic and textured black finishes in the mockups, so you will need to choose by looking at the color samples. We also added the Legend door and a special "Legend Rall" door designed just for you. The Legend doors can be made with a custom frame width from 1" to 12", so we can make them overlap however much you want.
Fireplace Opening: 35" W x 23 1/4" 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:
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.

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.
