Our Comments: Glass doors were originally requested for this project. Because the andiron shanks will not allow the andirons to fit completely inside the fireplace, most glass doors will not work since the glass is relatively even with the front of the opening. There are some very high end glass doors that have unique frame materials that stand away from the fireplace up to 2", which will allow the andirons to work. Other options we recommend would include 3-fold screens or single panel screens with custom andiron cutouts. Here are some examples.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 32" H
Before:
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass and are available in a hand polished finish that is similar to the andirons. Doors like these are very expensive and can be made with a solid brass crown molding or split tube. We have chosen to illustrate the split tube. This door is made from a solid brass tube cut to the necessary depth to allow for the andirons.
Option #1: DF1G-FS9 Solid Brass Fireplace Door with Split Tube Frame in Hand Polished Brass. The door trim would be made using a 2",3",4" and 5" diameters depending on how much clearance is needed for the andirons.
Option #2: TDF34M 3 Fold Screen with Rope Casting Trim and Operable Doors.
Option #3: 3P10M Camel Back Arch Solid Brass 3-Fold Screen in Hand Polished Brass.
Option #4: 1P10M Solid Brass Single Panel Screen with Queen Anne Legs and Handles in Hand Polished Brass. Andiron cutouts are custom made to fit the andiron shanks.
