Glass Doors for Small Fireplace - Project #11126
Customer Comments: Hi, Please see attached 3 views requested. Please send 3 design alternatives and the price - the dimensions of the firebox are 26 1/4" (height) x 27 1/2" (width). Thanks for your help
Our Comments: Sorry, we could not present enough ideas with just 3 mockups, so we created a few extra. This should give you a pretty good representation of all price ranges with doors that pick up on some of the elements in your room. Because of the small width, we have chosen to display all of these options with twin doors. Bifold doors are available for these as well.
Fireplace Opening: 27 1/2" W x 26 1/4" 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.

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.
