Customer Comments: Our fireplace does not have a real screen cover, the one we have is just a stand alone and does not completely cover width of fireplace opening. Dimensions of the opening are: 41-1/2" (W) and 28-1/2" (H); it is a true Heatalator Fireplace installed in 1975 (we were told this by the contractor we hired to clean out the flue, recap the top of the chimney and inspect and paint the firebox 5+ years ago). We want doors that completely cover the opening (our flue is slightly rusted "open"/will not completely close, so insects/flies from our horse farm come in when fireplace is not in use). Our home is rustic with silver on light fixtures and fans, we prefer the black accessories and trim for our fireplace. We want glass doors with mesh screens behind. Please provide recommendations/suggestions and pricing
Our Comments: Here are some mockups that should be helpful. We have included some NEW doors that are Horse related that also might interest you. Hope this helps.
Fireplace Opening: 41 1/2" W x 28 1/2" H
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
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.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
These doors have specialized laser cut patterns with horses that are great for a horse farm.
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.
