Customer Comments: Good morning, I have just found your website and I'm in need of some assistance in trying to find a fireplace door for my current remodel. We have a masonry fireplace with large pieces of flat stone that we wanted to cover. Our contractor used steel studs and built out the front covering with hardy backer. We are interested in using stack stone but realize that an overlapping door might not look right based on the fact that the stack stone can be different thicknesses. I was wondering if I could use an inside mount door and then have the stack stone either stop at the opening or return to the face of the door. Another possibility would be an overlapping door with a wide lip so that stack stone could butt up to it. I will include pics of the fireplace but the rough opening is width=36, height=30.5 inches. I’m interested in a Matte black 2 door fireplace. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Our Comments: We have created mockups showing 3 different ways this project can be handled. We took the liberty of adding some stacked stone and wood flooring to give the mockups a more finished look.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 30 1/2" H
Before:
Option #: Brookfield Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This option shows how it might look if the doors were installed overlapping the opening.
Option #: Legend Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This option shows an inside fit with a frame wide enough to cover the exposed inner hearth that is raised.
Option #: Legend Twin Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This option shows an inside fit with stacked stone covering the face of the inner hearth, so the door frame would just overlap the hearth bricks slightly and the stone needed to cover the bricks would be installed afterwards.
Option #: Craftsman Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron. This door is made just like the above option, but is a bit more sophisticated in the look. We also show it with bifolding doors, but it can be made as twin doors.
