Glass Doors for Prefab Fireplace with Brick Facing - Project #11290
Customer Comments: I'm not sure which door I need. I have a pre-fab box but its completely wrapped in brick...not sure if that's "masonry" or "ZC"? Looking for black, trackless bi fold, glass with mesh...overlap installation
Our Comments: It is certainly a prefab fireplace with a brick facing. Overlap fitting doors can be installed if they are designed to properly allow air to flow into the fireplace. The aluminum doors have a gap between the glass on the sides with air slots inside the frame. Steel doors will be made with 1/4" spacers to create a gap between the back of the frame and the bricks. All of the doors must be burned open. You can keep your existing mesh curtains, or we can add gate mesh doors behind the glass. We have shown all of the mockups with your existing mesh.
Fireplace Opening: 41 3/4" to 42" W x 24" 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.
