Glass Doors for Fireplace with Antique Pewter Mantel - Project #11265
Customer Comments: Option #3B Design in Bushed Pewter (from Project #11248). 27 7/8" width X 29 1/4" height is our opening to gas fireplace.
Our Comments: The Legend door from Design Specialties featured as Option #11265 is not available in a brushed pewter finish. The closest finish would be black nickel, which has a brushed look. Stone Manufacturing has several pewter finishes that will compliment your mantle as well as a Brown Antique Silver that may work best. Here are a few mockups. We can also add wire mesh in front of the glass so you cannot see the glass, which is more in keeping with the period design of your beautiful mantel.
Fireplace Opening: 27 7/8" W x 29 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.

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 such as Antique Pewter, Antique Silver or Brown Antique Silver that will compliment your beautiful antique mantel surround.

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.
