Glass Doors

We can use a wider frame on certain glass doors that will change the proportions of the fireplace. Some of these are very high end doors made from solid brass that can be made in a satin brass finish.

Frame Screens

Frame screens have sliding mesh curtains. These are all made from solid brass. The Shadow Box is one of the best ways to change the proportions of this fireplace. The Shadow Box is about 2" deep and allows us to make the frame wider than the fireplace opening. We would use a fine weave brass finsihed mesh that can be bunched up on the sides to hide the marble and less bunched in the middle for fire viewing.
