Fireplace Glass Doors for 1800s Farmhouse Home - Project #11137
Customer Comments: Hi, Have a rebuilt 1800's farmhouse looking for energy efficient glass doors for wood burning masonary fireplace with screen that aesthetically fits with style of home. Easy to load, clean and full view of burning fire. Thanks! Minimum height is 29 1/2” max of 29 3/4”. Min width is 36 1/4” and max is 37 1/2”. Lintel is 1/4”
Our Comments: We have presented a variety of doors in various price ranges. The steel doors are the most appropriate for the era and have a tighter seal. We may recommend a slightly wider frame than depicted in the mockups because of the irregularity of your opening. We will discuss this with you further over the phone.
Fireplace Opening: 36 1/4-37 1/2" W x 29 1/4-29 1/2" H (1/4" Lintel)
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.

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.
