Customer Note: I am looking for custom doors for my fireplace. the opening is 4 feet wide by 30 inches tall and the style is mid century modern with clean lines.
Supplied measurements:
48" W x 28"H
Our Comments: With a stone fireplace like this you can do an inside fit with mortar or an outside fit without mortar. If you do an outside fit, you are going to want a frame that overlaps the opening about 1 1/2" in order to help hide the irregularities in the stone so that you do not see holes between the back of the frame and the stone when you stand off to the side. You can fill those holes with mortar, but if that is the case, you might as well do an inside fit because it will give you a more finished look.

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
