Glass Doors for White Brick Fireplace - Project #11104
Customer Comments: I would like to see the satin silver/brushed nickel and to learn your opinion on if I were to opt for white in this case. I know you feel strongly about the satin silver/brushed nickel as your recommendation.
Our Comments: Here are some mockups of several doors in brushed nickel, white, and brushed white with brushed nickel hardware.
Fireplace Opening: 32 1/4" W x 29 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.

Option #3A: Mid-Century Modern 1 Fireplace Door in Flat White with Satin Nickel Doors.
Option #3B: Mid-Century Modern 1 detail: This detail photo shows how the door frame stands out from the back frame allowing the doors to be open without handles. Notice how the glass is embedded into the door frames creating a very unique modern look. The back frame can be made narrower as shown in Option #3C
Option #3C: Mid-Century Modern 1 Fireplace Door in Flat White with Hidden Frame. This door has the back frame as narrow as the front frame, so it only overlaps the opening 1/4". This will not overlap enough to cover the mortar joints, so they will need to be filled as shown.

Option #4B: Mid-Century Modern 2 detail: This detail photo shows how the door frame stands out from the back frame allowing the doors to be open without handles.

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.
