Customer Comments: Openings are 34 1/8" x 33" WxH for side A (patio side) And 34 1/8" x 32 7/8" WxH for side B (courtyard side). The firebrick is 1 3/8" tall above the hearth at the bottom. We look to your recommendation for a style that would work best. This is for a senior living apt. community. New but not too modern, but not old-fashioned. You know its hard to please everyone!
Fireplace Opening:
Side 1: 34 1/8" W x 33" H
Side 2: 34 1/8" W x 32 7/8" H
Our Comments: Fireplace doors made for outdoor fireplaces that are in uncovered locations should be made either from powder coated aluminum or 301 stainless steel. The aluminum door can be made with stainless steel hinges for an upcharge, which we highly recommend. The 301 stainless can also be powder coated. Powder coat finishes will hold up well but will fade and become chalky over time. The stainless steel doors are laser cut from a single sheet of 3/16" thick solid 301 stainless steel, so they are quite a bit more expensive but will withstand the elements for many years. Stainless steel is usually considered a more modern look, but when done with the arched window pane as shown below, it takes on a more traditional appeal.
We have supplied links to each door below their corresponding picture so you can get an idea of the prices and options.

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.
