Project #10906 - Glass Doors for Stacked Stone Two Sided Fireplace
Customer Comments: This is a two sided Masonry Fireplace. I would like a simple glass door preferably overlap fit but will consider inside fit too. Please no brass or gold colors.
Our Comments: In this case, we recommend having the outer frame made to overlap the inner bricks leaving a small gap between the frame and the stones. The gap can then easily be filled with mortar for perfect finished look. Here are some models that will look great with your stacked stone. Some of the aluminum doors with wider frames will work as well, but the frames may be too wide for such a small opening.
Fireplace Opening: 26 1/4" W x 28 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 Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Natural Iron with Mesh Curtains. This door has a narrower frame that may not overlap all of the inner brick, so the moratar joint may be wider than the other options on this page.
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 #5: Carolina Twin Window Pane Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Slate Gray Doors. Shown with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
High End Hand Crafted Wrought Iron/Steel Doors
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
Option #7: Black Rock Twin Fireplace Door in Antique Iron with No Center Stiles and No Mesh.

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.
