Project #10944 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: Our opening is 36-1/2" wide by 28-1/2" high. We are looking for black framed glass doors, simple and clean looking. We would also like a screen to protect from embers along with the glass doors if possible. Thank you very much for your help.
Our Comments: Virtually all of our fireplace doors are available in black. We have chosen some of the more popular models to feature on your fireplace in various materials and price ranges. We added a couple with a combination of black with nickel or satin nickel just to show how these accent finishes are quite appealing. Those models can also be made in all black. Hope this helps.
Bottom Gap : Some of these doors have very flat frames, which gives the fireplace a much more refined and finished look. This may leave a small gap at the bottom of the fireplace where the door meets the hearth since it appears that the mortar line does not follow across the opening. To fix this, you can fill that with grout or mortar and then paint it the same color as the rest of the fireplace. See closeup picture at bottom of page.
Fireplace Opening: 36 1/2" 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 #2: Bungalow Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
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 or Steel
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.
