Glass Doors for Modern Hole-In-The-Wall Fireplace - Project #11490

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

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.
