Customer Comments: Hello, My husband and I have been restoring our 1950s farmhouse in NJ back to its formal glory. The fireplace has been a labor of love and we are finally at a place where we can shop for a door/screen. We are looking at quoting the HUDSON ROLLER CUSTOM Fireplace Glass Doors with you. As you will see from our photos, our fireplace has a massive opening, but smaller sides. Since we are both Engineers, and I am a Designer, I have given this a huge amount of thought over the years. We are OK with the doors only opening in the middle, not the full opening.
Our Comments: Below are mockups of the concept that I described in my response to your email. We would add 8" wide fixed glass panels on each side of the door. This would allow us to make the actual doors smaller in width so they can open further. Because no single pane of glass can exceed 4 square feet, we would divide each of the sliding doors into two glass panes.
Fireplace Opening: 60" W x 43 1/4" H x 11" clearance on sides
Before:

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.
Scale & Finish Disclaimer: Mockups shown on this site are not necessarily to scale and are meant to help you choose the style of your screen or door. The appearance of finishes represented may vary between digital monitors and screens. I do my best to recommend finishes that I believe will blend with your decor and flatter your fireplace. You can view finish options here:

Samples for some finishes are available upon request.
"I have a passion for designing custom fireplace treatments, and have been doing so for over 35 years. The designs I create are not only tailored to fit perfectly, but fashioned to compliment your room decor and turn your fireplace into a tastefully finished focal point. Take advantage of my Free Design Service and let me show you the possibilities." Here are just a few reasons why you might consider buying from me:
Greg Tillotson (Owner/Designer)
Picture #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.
|
 Picture #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
|
Please remove all objects from in front of the fireplace opening before you take your pictures (existing screen, plants or anything else). If you have an existing glass door, take pictures with the doors open and closed.
Once I recieve your pictures, I will create several mockups and post them to a project page and send you a link to view and them with others for their input. I will follow up with you to discus your project, quote prices and help you choose the treatment that suits you best.
