Custom Glass Doors for Rumford Fireplace - Project #11353
Customer Comments: Our Rumford fireplace opening is 39" wide by 36 1/2" high. We are looking for something with black steel doors with tempered glass and black ember screen that can slide open/closed in behind doors on a rod. Thanks.
Our Comments: It appears that the stone is not too irregular to use an overlap fitting door. We recommend doors with at least a 2" wide frame for this application in order to best hide the gaps between the stone and the frame. All of these can also be made to fit inside the fireplace, which would require that the gaps be filled with mortar.
Fireplace Opening: 39" W x 36 1/2" 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.
