Glass Doors for Unique Stone Fireplace - Project #11157

Fireplace #1 | Fireplace #2 | Fireplace #3

Customer Comments: Hello, I have 4 indoor, conventional wood burning fireplaces in my home in Santa Fe, NM and I want to see what options there are for doors if I continue operation as wood burning or if I switch to gas logs? Want to start with 3. I am also interested to know what would be involved in installation and how the doors will be secured and impact functionality?

Our Comments: The doors for this fireplace will need to fit inside the opening and the gaps between the frame and the stones will need to be filled with mortar. Due to the way the right hand stone is cut, the further back the door is installed, the less mortar will be needed. We are showing the doors installed near the back of the stones where the sides are relatively flat. This will leave a gap at the bottom where you will see some of the inside hearth exposed. This also creates less space for the grate inside the fireplace, but will provide the most finished look with the least amount of mortar. We will discuss this further over the phone to help you decide how far back to install the door.

Fireplace #1 Opening: 30" W x 35 7/8" H

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.
