Custom Glass Doors for Black Tile Fireplace - Project #11318
Customer Comments: Hello I'm looking to get a fireplace door. I'm looking for an overlap door where the metal is as narrow as possible while not showing any gap between the metal and stone. I also don't want it to stick out from the stone much. I'm looking for bifold doors with clear tempered glass and sliding mesh curtain. The width is 37 1/8" and height is 29". Lastly I'm looking for a black finish. From your website I see maybe Legend Narrow Frame Option or Carolina? I'm wondering what you would recommend? Thank you.
Our Comments: Here are a few examples of doors that closely fit your description. Some width of the frame can be adjusted with some of the doors and will depend on how much overlap is necessary to hide the joints between the tiles. We did add some gold accents to some of the options to tie in with your decor, but those can also be made in all black.
Fireplace Opening: 37 1/8" W x 29" 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: Hearth Creations Profile 4 Fireplace Glass Door in Flat Black. 1" standard frame width. This door can only overlap 1/2".
Option #2: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Gold Square Handles. 2 1/8" standard frame width.
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 in Rustic Black with 1 1/4" Narrow Frame (allows for 1/2" overlap). Frame can also be made 1", but only allows for 1/4" overlap.
Option #4: Design Specialties Carolina Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with 1 1/2" Frame. Frame width cannot be customized.
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. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Pewter. This door fits inside the opening and has no frame on the sides. There is an angle iron at the top and bottom that holds the glass hardware.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing EDGE-4 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Flat Black. This door is like the HYBRID-2, but has an angle iron frame on all 4 sides instead of just the top and bottom.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing Solid Brass Channel Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Flat Black Door Channels. 2" wide frame allows for 1/2" overlap.
Option #8: Stone Manufacturing Solid Brass Channel Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Polished Gold Door Channels. 2" wide frame allows for 1/2" overlap.
Option #9: Stone Manufacturing Solid Brass Channel Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Polished Gold Half Round Solid Brass Door Frames. 2" wide frame allows for 1/2" overlap.

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.
