Glass Doors to Convert Arch to Rectangle - Project #11134

Customer Comments: Hi- my wife wants to eliminate the arch on our fireplace. Do you sell a black matte square insert that would give the illusion of a square fire place? Measurements: 33.5w x 31h (highest point with arch). We don't use the heat exchanger. The blower is a bit noisy.

Our Comments: We can certainly accomplish your wife's desires. We would need to make the top frame of the door to meet the lowest point of the arch to 1/2" to 1" taller than the high point to overlap the opening. Here are some examples of this. If you remove the heat exchanger it will allow us to overlap the bottom and create doors that have a linear look, which is a very popular trend, particularly when there is a TV above the fireplace.

Fireplace Opening: 33 1/2" W x 31" H

Arch to Rectangle Fireplace Doors

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.

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.
