Project #10992 - Fireplace Remodel with Glass Doors and Surround Trims
Customer Comments: Dear Hansen, Please find attached 3 photos of my fireplace and it's surround. I am interested in Stiletto by Design Specialties. Your advise on how this will look in our place would be appreciated as well as your input as to the type of panels, etc. We are planning of painting the tan brick white and possibly adding a mantel above. I just want to make a modification, in addition to the added benefit of the insulation provided by a tightly closed fireplace door, a dab of a modern touch. Thank you.
Our Comments: Here are some diverse concepts to redo this fireplace using glass doors, a mantel and surround trims.

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.
