Glass Doors for Fireplace with Rounded Opening - Project #11496

Customer Comments: Hello. We have been shopping for fireplace doors at Woodland Direct. It seems prudent for us to compare the cost using comparable materials so we are contacting you for an estimate. From you selection of products those most similar to what we have found are Carolina and Legend, option. Trackless bi-fold in bronze finish. We think ZC Legend may be needed as we have “corners" that are bullnose. I have attached photos of our fireplace. Also, a diagram with the critical dimensions. Our fireplace is a Rumford style. Our home is constructed of rammed-earth, which includes the fireplace and hearth.

Our Comments: The Legend ZC door is not appropriate for a wood burning fireplace. ZC stands for zero clearance, which is a prefabricated metal fireplace framed into the house with 2x4 construction. The standard Legend is what you would want if you went this route with a wider frame. The widest frame the Carolina can be made with is 2 1/2" and the frame has a 2" recessed depth, so the Carolina may not be appropriate. Here are some great options for you to consider for your Southwest Pueblo style fireplace.

Fireplace Opening: 39" W x 32 7/8" H

Before:

Design Specialties Legend

The Legend from Design Specialties is laser cut and can have the frame made to whatever dimension you want. There is a 1 1/2" deep subframe, so a wider frame as you have specified will be necessary in order to clear the curved opening.

Legend Fireplace Door Option #2: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Classic Bronze with 5" wide frame on top and sides and rounded upper corners. Shown with rounded hearth flange.

Hearth Creations

Hearth Creation doors are also laser cut and can have custom frame widths. The main difference is the subframe is only 3/4" deep, so you do not need a very wide frame to clear the curve. a 2" frame should do the trick and leave you with a better look.
