Customer Comments: Hello, Here are a few pictures and measurements of the fire place door we would like to have made. Our house has lots of glass and we would like to keep it looking clean. Glass to be darker if possible, black color frame. What's the darkest glass you can do? Thanks.
Our Comments: We have 3 shades of dark glass: gray, dark graylite-14 and opaque black which you cannot see through at all. Below are some very special doors designed specifically for fireplaces like yours. We also included some modern ornaments that are meant to replace typical gas logs.
Fireplace Opening: 37 1/4" W x 24" 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.
The Rail door is an exciting new introduction for 2023 and you can be one of the first to own one. The doors slide left and right on a rail to open and close instead of swinging outwards. Perfect choice for fireplaces like this that are raised in the wall.
The Sliding door is similar to the rail door except the two outer glass panes are fixed and the inner panes slide left and right to open and close.
The Minimal glass door features an angle iron frame on the top and bottom with just the front edge showing. There is no frame on the sides. This door uses 3/8" thick glass for a luxurious look and feel along with very minimal hardware.
The Hybrid features a top and bottom angle iron that holds the glass doors and hardware. There is no frame on the side. This door is ideal for applications like this where you want to recess the door into the opening.
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.
