Customer Comments: We just spoke on the phone in regards to a see through fireplace that I want to add doors to. I found this article on the web Glass Doors for Rock Fireplaces. Here are some details about this project:
Its a see through wood burning masonry fireplace, opening 26 x 36. I want to add two glass door to the fireplace according to what the article suggests, so I don't have smoke in the house while burning. One of the doors could be fixed. I need to do an overlap mount since the stones that I will be adding dont have finish on the sides, then I will probably fill the gaps with mortar or caulking. House is in south Florida, so I won't be using this fireplace a lot, maybe a couple times a year in winter. You suggested aluminum frame since it was less expensive than steel and taking into account that it wont be used a lot. I want the door to look nice, aluminum for some reason sounds to me that won't look as nice as the steel door, maybe I'm wrong, I would need to see some pictures of the two finishes to compare. I'm installing stones to the fireplace soon. I'd like something modern , without obstructions in the center of the glass (frames,...) more towards mate metal, not shiny. See Pictures.
Our Comments: We have attempted to create the finished look of your fireplace based on the pictures you sent. We have included several glass doors that will work. The Aluminum doors are substantially less expensive, but have many of the same powder coat finishes. The steel doors will have a superior finished look of quality and make a more refined statement.

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.
Scale & Finish Disclaimer: Mockups shown on this site are not necessarily to scale and are meant to help you choose the style of your screen or door. The appearance of finishes represented may vary between digital monitors and screens. I do my best to recommend finishes that I believe will blend with your decor and flatter your fireplace. You can view finish options here:

Samples for some finishes are available upon request.
"I have a passion for designing custom fireplace treatments, and have been doing so for over 35 years.

Greg Tillotson (Owner/Designer)
Picture #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.
|
 Picture #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
|
Please remove all objects from in front of the fireplace opening before you take your pictures (existing screen, plants or anything else). If you have an existing glass door, take pictures with the doors open and closed.
Once I recieve your pictures, I will create several mockups and post them to a project page and send you a link to view and them with others for their input. I will follow up with you to discus your project, quote prices and help you choose the treatment that suits you best.
