Customer Comments: We want bifold glass doors in dark metallic color with some contrasting lighter color. The kitchen opposite fireplace is currently undergoing renovation. There will be a new light granite countertop. The fireplace itself will be surrounded with 2 rows of 6" teal colored tiles.
Our Comments: Here are a few concepts of how your fireplace might look subsequent to our last email communication. Shown with the tile have selected along with new glass doors.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 24 1/2" H
This shows how we can have a matching surround trim made to match the doors in a combination of materials and finishes. The Rope trim is made from solid brass and is available in a wide variety of finishes as shown at the bottom of your project.
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.
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.
A less expensive alternative to solid brass, this would be made from solid steel in a combination of powder coat finishes.
Use your imagination to create the perfect fireplace screen with these solid brass castings from Stone Manufacturing. Compliment architectural details in the mantel or other furnishings in our home, or simply create your own unique look. Available in a wide variety of finishes.
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.
