Project #10912 - Glass Doors for See Through Stone firelpace
Customer Comments: Hello-We exchanged emails back in October. We have been in the house for a few months now, and would like to move forward with doors for our double sided fireplace. The dimensions are 47 3/4W X 44 1/2 tall. We would need 2 sets of glass doors with gate door screens. Black frame/minimalist design preferred. This is a wood burning unit.
Our Comments: If you want a minimal frame, you will need to install the doors inside the opening and then fill the gaps with mortar. An alternative would be to use a wider frame and overlap the stone opening. We have presented some mockups showing both options.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 48" 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.

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.
