Southwest Style Glass Doors for See Through Fireplace (Den) - Project #11078
See Other Side (Living Room) - Project #11079
Customer Comments: I am interested in two glass fireplace doors. Our fireplace is open on both sides. The first side faces the den. I am interested in a southwest theme but my wife does not want "howling coyotes". What finishes are available?
Our Comments: For Southwest style we typically recommend doors that are wrought iron with some sort of textured finish, either natural iron, rust or antique copper. We have many other finishes available. Here are several examples.
Fireplace Opening: 48 1/2" W x 28 3/4" 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:
Affordable 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 Wrought Iron/Steel Doors
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details. These doors are highly specialized designs created for this project that we do not have links to on our website.

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.
