Customer Comments: Hello, Here are a few pictures and measurements of the fire place door we would like to have made. Our house has lots of glass and we would like to keep it looking clean. Glass to be darker if possible, black color frame. What's the darkest glass you can do? Thanks.
Our Comments: We have 3 shades of dark glass: gray, dark graylite-14 and opaque black which you cannot see through at all. Below are some very special doors designed specifically for fireplaces like yours. We also included some modern ornaments that are meant to replace typical gas logs.
Fireplace Opening: 37 1/4" W x 24" H

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.

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.
