Before:
Glass Doors
We can use a wider frame on certain glass doors that will change the proportions of the fireplace. Some of these are very high end doors made from solid brass that can be made in a satin brass finish.
Option #1: Legend Solid Steel Fireplace Glass Door in Vintage Brass Steel. This door is shown with a 2" wide top frame and 4" wide side frames.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Door with Satin Brass Sheet Metal Overlay and Polished Brass Outer Trim. Shown with a 5" wide frame on the top and sides.
Option #3: Hudson Roller Fireplace Barn Door with 4" wide side frame and 2" wide top frame in Vintage Brass Steel.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Fireplace Barn Door in Satin Gold Powder Coat. Shown with 3" wide side frame. This door can be made without the rivets for a more modern look.
Option #5: HHFL-FS8 Twin Fireplace Door in Satin Brass with 4" wide Frame and 3" wide Solid Brass Split Tube Outer Trim.
Frame Screens
Frame screens have sliding mesh curtains. These are all made from solid brass. The Shadow Box is one of the best ways to change the proportions of this fireplace. The Shadow Box is about 2" deep and allows us to make the frame wider than the fireplace opening. We would use a fine weave brass finsihed mesh that can be bunched up on the sides to hide the marble and less bunched in the middle for fire viewing.

Option #7: CFR85-48 Shadow Box Frame Screen Made from Solid Brass in a Satin Brass Finish with Brass Finished Steel Mini Mesh. Featuring a Solid Brass Floral Casting Trim and AR-AN16 Marseilles Andirons in Satin Brass.

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.
