Glass Doors for Short Arched Fireplace with Ledge - Project #11369
Customer Comments: See Below
Our Comments: Here you will find several examples showing how glass doors might look fitting inside under the arch or overlapping the arched stones. For a clean finished professional look and tighter seal, we recommend fitting the door under the arch and filling the gaps with mortar painted to match the fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 46" W x 18" H (sides) x 29" H (center)

Comments
Hi guys,
I found your business on-line and am very excited about the possibility of upgrading our mesh fireplace doors with glass doors.
The current doors are what someone might call "custom", but I'd describe as "homemade". Therefore, I've enclosed more photos than you typically request because this is such an unusual screen.
The outer frame is welded together. The vertical pieces on each side at 2"x2" angle iron.
Another challenge on this is that the fireplace is wider than typical. At approx 46" wide, the new doors need to fold up. Two 1-piece doors would be too big to have open as they would extend past the stone hearth.
I really want this to be beautiful, functional and made well enough to last forever. I'm open to getting creative. We'd prefer black color (dark colors) and our home is a traditional Texas Ranch with a bit of Spanish influence.
Would you please design a new, beautiful and functional fireplace door set for us?
Thanks

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.
