Customer Request: Would like to see glass door options for a fireplace this large
Our Comments: The rule of thumb for making glass doors for very large openings is that we must keep each panel of glass smaller than 3 square feet. In order to do this on your fireplace, we either need to make a wider frame to reduce the size of the glass panels or add fixed end panels on each side. We have created examples of both.
Fireplace Opening Size: 60" W x 40" H.
Before
Option #1: Legend Square Arch Window Pane with Fixed End Panels in Brite Black with Rustic Black Doors.
Option #2: Black Rock with Wide Frame in Forged Iron.
Option #3: Legend with Wide Frame in Vintage Iron.
Figure #1: Example of Legend Square Arch Window Pane Door with Fixed End Panels. This is the actual picture we used to create your mockup.
Figure #2: This is an example of a Brookfield door with fixed end panels. This is an aluminum door and is the least expensive type of door for large fireplaces but is less sturdy.
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.
