Glass Doors for 200 Year Old Brick Fireplace - Project #11565

Customer Comments: Opening measurements are 46.5 width and 33.5 height. This is a pretty old place, and so these dimensions are the smallest, as this is not square. There is enough clearance top and bottom (obviously) and there is on the short side, 33 inches of clearance for the sliding doors to completely clear the opening. This is a 2 hundred year old federalist style house. This fireplace is woods burning and has a 40 foot chimney. The draw is not great and the down drafts can push a suspended quilt out from the opening about 4 inches on a windy day, even with the flu closed. I love the idea of having a top AND bottom rail. I am thinking wrought iron look, grey glass. Thanks for taking my call and for being so kind.
