Customer Comments: Hi, We are doing our research on fireplace door options for a zc prefab wood burning fireplace that no longer has available doors to fit it. We really like look of the Brookfield glass door but know that we will also need mesh doors behind it. Below is a link to our images on Dropbox since they were too large to email. We are currently renovating the rest of the room so all features around it are a blank slate. I do know we are planning to finish around the fireplace with Anatolia Tile Desert Quartz Ledgestone from Lowes. Measurements: Outer Opening: 36"x29.25", Inner Opening width: 30", Lintel depth: 2". Can probably take better measurements if needed with guidance.
Our Comments: We have created 3 separate examples in 3 distinct price ranges. We have taken the liberty of adding a stone face to the fireplace similar to the one you described you were planning on using. Hope this helps you visualize. You must burn your fire with the doors open on this fireplace to allow cool air to flow into those bottom vents to prevent the fireplace from overheating.

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.
