Glass Doors for Small Two Sided Fireplace - Project #11232
Customer Comments: Below is a picture of some of the decor. Fixtures has black and some brass accents. The measurements are 25"w x 29"h. I'm thinking black doors would be best but up to suggestions.
Our Comments: Looks like some form of black is the best choice, whether it be flat black, textured black or antqiue black. Because the fireplace is very narrow, we have included some choices with wider frames designed to overlap the top slightly and overlap the sides a lot more to bring the fireplace into a better proportion. The steel doors can be made with custom width frames to accomplish this.
Fireplace Opening: 25" W x 29" H

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.
