Fireplace Glass Doors - Project 10938
Project #10938 - Screens for Chevron Tile Fireplace Remodel
Customer Comments: Hi Steve, We spoke on the phone yesterday. I am in the process of refacing my fireplace and I am looking for a custom screen/door. I've included pictures of my fireplace below. I've also included a picture of the new tile we are putting in. The dimensions for the opening are about 41 inches wide x 24 inches high. I'm interested in either a fireplace door or a flat fireplace screen. I really like the two door style (like the picture I sent). I'm probably looking for something made of aluminum and black or dark gray in color. I'd like the screen/door to be as simple as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Our Comments: Here are the mockups you requested along with some others you may wish to consider. Screen doors can be attached to the fireplace without legs or free standing with legs. Some are available either way, others can only be attached.
Fireplace Opening: 41" W x 24" 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.
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.

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. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.

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.
