Project #10465 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: This is a 2 sided gas fire place. The house is completely renovated and from 1950 I need this to look super modern. These are the best photos I can get. I have a 2,000 lb table I cant move to get better photos
Our Comments: Here are some suggestions. Don't know if you have considered a free standing glass screen, but we added a couple of those as well.
Fireplace Opening: Not Supplied
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.

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.
