Project #10861 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: Want to reduce the height of the opening a total of 8" so a wider frame on top for sure and possibly wider frame on both sides as well. 1. Wider frame on all sides. 2. Wider frame on top but maybe not as wide on the sides. I think he would like to see both options
Our Comments: We have created several options of arched doors that can be made to reduce the opening height. We have also included one model that does not.
Fireplace Opening: 40" W x 32" H

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.
