Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #11114
Customer Comments: This is the original fireplace to a home that is over 200 years old and is in our kitchen. The opening measures 45" x 35 1/8". I would like as thin of a frame as possible so that some of the brick still shows, and minimal visible seams in the glass, which should be clear. I prefer a matte appearance/nothing shiny.
Our Comments: Here are a variety of doors in various price ranges that will work with your lovely brick fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 35 1/8" H

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.

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.
