Glass Doors for Heat Circulating Fireplace with Vents - Project #11573

Customer Comments: Hello, See attached for the photos of our current fireplace. It is wood burning with a gas starter. We are going to be replacing the surrounding tile, so would like the replacement fireplace doors to be a simple black (most likely). Leaning toward more modern vs. the current traditional look.

Our Comments: Glass doors can be made to fit inside the opening or overlap the entire black metal front. There is a fan control button on the bottom right side of the louvers. Some of the options will cover that button up rendering it unusable.

Fireplace Opening: 43" W x 33.25" H (Black Metal Dimensions)

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.
