Minimal Fireplace Doors for Dekton Fireplace - Project #11530
Customer Comments: We are looking for glass doors for both of our fireplaces. One fireplace is in the living room and the other is in the Primary bedroom. For both we are looking for a very minimal, clean design, accordion style glass doors. Maybe a dark/black thin framed option and a no frame option? The surround material for both fireplaces is Dekton.
Our Comments: Here are some great minimal style doors that can be made to fit both fireplaces. We have chosen to do the mockups using the photos from the bedroom. Doors that fit inside the fireplace must be made rectangular and slightly smaller than the smallest dimensions. Because the fireplaces are somewhat irregular, there will be gaps that will show. Grout may be necessary to fill the gaps. It will be important to use a level to find the smallest width and height dimensions.
Fireplace Opening:
Living Room: 59 3/4" W (top) x 60 1/4" W (bottom) x 39 3/8" H
Bedroom: 48" W (top) x 48 1/4" W (bottom) x 37 1/8" H
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 #1A: Hearth Creations Profile 4 Bifold Door in Matte Black (overlap fit). This door has a 1" wide x 3/8" deep frame that overlaps the opening 1/2" max.
Option #1B: Design Specialties Stiletto in Rustic Black (inside fit). This door has a 15/16" Wide Frame that is 1 5/8" deep making it better for an inside fit.

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.
