Mesh Doors for Ventless Gas Fireplace - Project #11471
Customer Comments: Hello, We are having difficulty finding a face/trim for this Majestic fireplace with outside H: 20 and 1/4" and W: 36" We are awaiting a low profile sectional couch and have some vintage mid century furniture elsewhere in the house. I am mainly after clean lines. I'd like black metal trim and possibly a door. Thank you so much!
Our Comments: As per our email conversation, glass doors cannot be added to a ventless gas fireplaces, so we recommend mesh doors instead. Mid-Century Modern fireplaces were more commonly treated with mesh curtains and andirons, so we have included those options as well.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 20 1/4" 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.
