Project #10928 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: To whom it may concern, We want to purchase fireplace doors. Your website mentions that "experts can examine your fireplace to determine if there are any unusual circumstances that must be taken into consideration." Please review the attached photos and advise on the best custom fit for the brick surrounding our fireplace. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise. Best regards.
Our Comments: Because the bricks on the sides of your opening project out slightly further than the top, we are showing doors that fit inside the opening. We would make the doors about 1/4" smaller on the top and each side than the opening. You will need to fill the gap with mortar.
Fireplace Opening: Approximately: 33" W x 26 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:
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: Room View
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 #2: Legend Window Pane Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door in Oil Rubbed Bronze with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.

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.
