Project #10979 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: I'm interested in getting a few mock-ups for a custom fireplace door. I think I'd prefer steel, but I'm not knowledgeable on the differences between the various materials, so that is something I'd like to discuss. Please let me know if you need additional information in addition to what I've provided below. Look forward to hearing from you - appreciate the help. Details: Frame finish - prefer matte or low-sheen black frame. Square handles. Interior gate mesh doors are preferred over mesh curtains. Prefer twin doors over bifold doors, but interested in seeing both.
Our Comments: For a fireplace your size we do recommend twin doors instead of bifold. We have provided mockups of 3 different grades of doors. We can do square handles on all of the doors, but cannot mock them up that way. We will discuss your options further over the phone. Hope this helps.
Fireplace Opening: 25 3/5" W x 27 3/8" 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 #: Brookfield Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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 #: Legend Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Satin Nickel Doors and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #: Legend Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Extra Wide Side Frame and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.
