Customer Comments: Hello, The height and width are vary a bit depending on where you measure. Approximate width 41.5 and height 29.5. We are looking for doors that match our decor for safety and efficiency.
Our Comments: The way your fireplace has been installed and covered with stone requires doors that overlap the opening and have 1/4" spacers on the back of the frame to allow airflow into the fireplace and prevent overheating. This does reduce the efficiency, but still provides a major improvement. These doors must be burned with the doors open and can be closed as the fire dies to help block the majority of the cold air from coming into the home.
Fireplace Opening: 41 1/2" W x 29 1/2" H
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
Sliding doors have fixed glass on the left and right sides where the center panes slide left and right to open and close. These are great for fireplaces raised in the wall where you do not want doors sticking out. They are most appropriate for gas fires.
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.
