Glass Doors for Stacked Stone Fireplace - Project #10968

Customer Comments: Hello, I'm interested in getting glass doors for my fireplace. I attached the pictures. The opening size is 41 1/2 wide and 32 1/2 high. I'm not sure what I want, that's why I'm sending this to you, but I like the Carolina Arched window design with clear glass and stainless steel mesh. Thanks for your help.

Our Comments: Glass doors for fireplaces with stacked stone are best custom made to fit inside the opening. We normally make them about 1/4" smaller on the top and each side so they fit comfortable. The gap can then be filled with mortar. If you choose to fit the doors on the outside, there will be substantial gaps between the back of the frame and the stones. That gap is determined by the stone that sticks out the most, which appears to fifth stone from the bottom on the right side.

Regarding the Smoke Deflector: The smoke deflector will need to be removed in order to install glass doors. That means that there may be a smoke problem when the fire is burned with the doors open. To help mitigate this issue, look at the models below where we have modified the top of the door to make it wider and take the place of the smoke guard.

Fireplace Opening: 41 1/2" W x 32 1/2" H
