Glass Doors for Layered Tile Fireplace - Project #11237
Customer Comments: We are needing custom magnetic glass doors for our fireplace. The dimensions of the opening is 38.5"w x 27"h. Will need the doors to be 1/8" smaller to make sure it doesn't hit some uneven tile around the sides. We would like it in matte black and of a simple design please. Thank you
Our Comments: Here are some great looking fireplace doors that can be attached with magnets. We noticed the black and brass chandelier in your dining room, so we incorporated that into the design of two of the doors, which can be made all black if you prefer. Each of these options can be installed with magnets. Only the higher end doors are available with magnetic installation, so if these are beyond your budget you may need to consider doors that do not have magnets.
Fireplace Opening: 38 1/2" W x 27" 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.

Before:
Medium Range Steel Doors
These doors are custom made from solid or formed steel and can be made with magnetic installation.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Flat Steel or Formed Steel Magnetic Bifold Door in Flat Black. Flat steel is 3/16" thick solid steel whereas formed steel is much thinner 7 gauge steel that is bent into shape. They will look similar, but flat steel has a much more substantial feel to it and is slightly more expensive than the less rigid formed steel.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Mid Century Modern II Twin Fireplace Door in Flat Black. This door has a sleek design without handles. The door frames stand out about 1" from the back frame and open like a cabinet door.
High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass & Steel
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.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing SD Sliding Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Polished Brass Square Handles (can be all black). This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. You can see an actual example of this door below from a previous customer.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing DF1G Bifold Door with Gloss Black Outer Frame and Half Round Solid Brass Door Frames. This can also be made in all flat black.
Sliding Door Example
Example #1: This is an example of a sliding glass door with gas logs shown with the doors open while the logs are burning. Mesh curtains are optional.
Measuring Instructions

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.
