Glass Doors for In-The-Wall Stacked Stone Fireplace - Project #11030

Customer Comments: We are looking at your standard door options (bungalow or savannah). Fireplace opening is 40" wide and 30 3/4" high.

Our Comments: The stock Bungalow and Savannah doors are designed to sit on a hearth, not for installation on a fireplace raised in the wall like yours. Although they can be attached, the frame cannot overlap the bottom of the opening, so they look a little out of sorts as if they are floating and something is missing. Normally we would design a door with a 4-sided frame that overlaps the bottom or a door that fits inside the fireplace. Keep in mind that your stone is not flat, so a door made to fit on the outside will have noticeable gaps between the frame and the stones. When doors are made to fit inside, those gaps can be filled with mortar and it looks very clean and finished.

Fireplace Opening: 40" W x 30 3/4" H

Before

Before:

Stock Aluminum Doors

These doors are made to sit flat on a hearth. You can install them on a raised opening, but there is no frame at the bottom to overlap so they look a little odd. They are a lot less expensive, so the choice becomes more about the budget than the look.
