Customer Comments: Hi, I'm hoping to get doors in-hand in about 2-3 weeks from now, so I have a feeling we're going to have to go with something in-stock. Pictures are included below (pardon the messy room, we're decorating). Ideally, I'd like an inner gate screen (I'll remove the curtain screen shown in the photos). Our style is a dressed-up craftsman look. Ideal color would be black or dark oil-rubbed bronze, nothing bright/gold. I would tend to prefer gate-style doors, but I’m open to others too. I want to be able to close the glass doors while the fire is burning, if needed (e.g. if the fire is generating a lot of smoke, as it is a natural log/burning fireplace). Please forward mock-ups of the best options. Thanks so much!
Our Comments: There is nothing stock that will fit your fireplace. Prefab firelpaces do not use stock doors, so there is no way we can meet that timeline. Here are some options for custom doors. You can either have the doors made to fit inside the black metal opening or made to cover the black metal at the bottom. We have created examples of both options.
Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 23 3/8" H
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut, so we can cover the black metal at the bottom.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
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.
