Glass Doors for Fireplace with Precast Mantel - Project #11281
Customer Comments: I would like glass doors with black frame to fit inside the precast. Thanks.
Our Comments: Some glass doors must be attached directly to the black metal of the prefab fireplace while others can fit inside the precast mantel. You may also want to consider overlapping the precast mantel. We have created mockups showing each of these options. Doors that fit inside the mantel should be made 1/4" smaller on the top and sides and the gap can be filled with grout to match the mantel.
Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 26 5/8" 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:
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.
