Glass Door and Mantel for Fireplace Remodel - Project #11518

Our Comments: The fireplace is being remodeled with stacked stone replacing the current rock. Here are some examples of how that might look with glass doors and a steel mantel. The stacked stone can cover most of the black metal, but there are some air vents at the bottom of the opening that cannot be covered. We show how those can be accommodated.

Fireplace Opening: 36 1/2" W x 21" 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.
