Glass Doors for Large Whitewashed Brick Fireplace - Project #11002
Customer Comments: Hello, We are looking to add fireplace doors as our 9 month old is becoming mobile and curious. The opening measures 33.5" high and 48.25" wide. We are planning to remodel this room as it is very outdated, so please don't rely on the decor. We plan to make this room much more modern. Thanks!
Our Comments: Here are a few examples of modern doors that will work well with your fireplace in various price ranges. Please note that gas fires cannot be burned with the glass doors closed even though we have some of them pictured with a fire burning. This is because we cannot show how the doors look when they are opened due to limitations in creating mockups.
Fireplace Opening: 48 1/4" W x 33 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 #1: Brookfield Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #2: Bungalow Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel (brushed aluminum) 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.
Option #3: Legend Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains in Forged Iron.
Option #4: Carolina Bifold Window Pane Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Slate Gray Door Frames and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #5: MET Twin Fireplace Door in Antique Pewter with Black Glass. You cannot see through the glass when it is closed. You can have mesh curtains or gate mesh backup doors behind the glass.
Option #6: MET Single Gate Mesh Fireplace Door (no glass) in Antique Pewter. Shown with our amazing Gas Burning Twigs Sculpture and Caribbean Blue Glass Crystals.
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.
Option #7: HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel. This door fits inside the opening and has no frame on the sides. Shown with Gas Burning Glass Crystals and Geometric Shapes.
Option #8A: DF1G Bifold Door with Gloss Black Outer Frame and Polished Chrome Half Round Door Frames and Graylite 14 Dark Gray Glass.
Option #8B: DF1G Bifold Door with Gloss Black Outer Frame and Polished Chrome Half Round Door Frames and Clear Glass. Shown with Azuria Blue Gas Burning Glass Crystals.

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.
