Project #10598 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments: The dimensions are 39.75" Wide X 25"Tall at corners 30"at center or arch. We want something that is a rustic flat black color. clear glass. bifold doors. No metal frame over the glass-open as possible.
Our Comments: Several of these options are designed based on your description of what you want. We included some additional designs for others to see who are viewing this project looking for ideas. If you want to be able to burn a fire with the doors open, you are going to need gate mesh backup doors behind the glass, which must have a center frame to hold the wire mesh. So there will be an obstruction to the view in the center. There is no way around this with an arched fireplace door.
Fireplace Opening: 39 3/4" W x 25"-30" 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.
