Traditional Brass Doors for Small Fireplace - Project #11299
Customer Comments: Hello, I am looking for a simple traditional brass fireplace door. The measurements of the opening are 28" wide and 22.5" high. Thanks.
Our Comments: We have presented doors made from various materials including: Solid Brass, Plated Brass and Anodized Aluminum. The solid brass doors are quite expensive and have a look of pristine quality about them that cannot be replicated with lesser materials. Most of the doors are shown as cabinet doors but they all can be made as bifold doors. We usually recommend cabinet doors for fireplaces this small as they look more elegant.
Fireplace Opening: 28" W x 22 1/2" 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.

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.
