Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #11317
Customer Comments: Hello, I was hoping to get a quote for doors for my fireplace. Thank you so much!
Our Comments: Here are some mockups representing 3 different types of doors that can be installed on your fireplace. Option #1 is made to fit inside the fireplace opening. This provides the tighest seal, but requires you to add mortar to fill the gap between the stone and the frame.
Fireplace Opening: 226 1/4" W x 24-24 3/8" 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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Ancient Age. Shown as inside fit with mortar.
Option #2: Design Specialties Savannah Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. Shown as overlap fit.
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.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door with 3" to 4" wide frame in Forged Iron. Shown as overlap fit.
Option #4: Design Specialties Carolina Fireplace Glass Door with 2 1/2" Frame in Rustic Black.

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.
