Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 20 1/8" H (varies)
These doors are designed to overlap the stone facing. They provide a more decorative finished look and provide a larger viewing area, but they must be burned with the glass doors open. They will have 1/4" spacers on the back side of the frame to allow air to flow into the prefab fireplace so it does not overheat. You CAN close the doors when starting a fire and when the fire is dying out to help prevent smoke from coming into the room.
These doors can only be made to fit inside the metal opening or overlap the metal. They cannot overlap the stone facing. This shrinks the fireplace opening creating a smaller viewing area, but they can be burned with the glass open or closed.
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.
