Mesh Doors for Modern Fireplace - Project #11146
Customer Comments: I am interested in a custom fireplace screen or door that you can see through made of iron or steel. Not mash like the one shown here or glass. Please let me know what you can do
Our Comments: Here are some great options for mesh doors ranging from muted steel and silver finishes to polished nickel. Pay particular attention to the doors with the "Pseudo Clearview" option. These are unique in that they don't have a typical frame blocking the view of the fire, just a small black trim that is barely noticable.
Fireplace Opening: 41" W x 25" H (3" deep)
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:
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.
High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel. This manufacturer has the "Pseudo Clearview" option that makes for a nearly unobstructed view of the fire.

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.
