Inside Fitting Glass Doors for Corner Fireplace - Project #11395
Customer Comments: It is a real wood fireplace but since we live in FL we don't plan to have many fires. As long as we can get logs through the doors it should be fine. It appears that your mock-up is flush with the surface of the rock and we like that design. The sliding doors seem like a good match to that flush look. We also like the iron finish idea but it may be a bit too rustic. We are more late 1800's industrial than Game of Thrones. I would say the iron is a good fit but the finish should be consistent all over. I've attached a couple of more furniture pieces that should help.
Our Comments:
Fireplace Opening: See Below
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 Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Vintage Iron with Mesh Curtains. The curtain mesh cannot go beyond the edge of the corner post. Gate mesh backup doors may be advised instead. Can be burned with the doors closed.
High End Hand Crafted Wrought Iron/Steel Doors
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look with a slightly distressed finish that will better match your furniture.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing SD Sliding Fireplace Door in Darkened Oil Rubbed Steel with Pitted Texture. Can also be made from real wrought iron (see sample below). This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. Must be burned with the doors open.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing HLD Bifold Corner Door in Darkened Oil Rubbed Steel with Pitted Texture. These doors fold outwards for much easier access to building a fire. Must be burned with the doors open.
Material Examples
Finish Sample #1: Stone Manufacturing Darkened Oil Rubbed Steel. This is a lightly pitted texture.
Finish Sample #2: Stone Manufacturing Darkened Wrought Iron. This is real forged wrought iron with a real forged texture more like your furniture. Quite a bit more expensive than steel.

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.
