Customer Comments: Hi Terry. I have a vented gas fireplace. What I'm hoping to purchase is a frame with bi-fold doors in matte black to fit between the top and bottom vents. The measurements are as follows: width 35 15/16" x height 20 15/16". If that is an impossible option, my next choice would be a reface that would cover all of the area within the granite frame. The measurements of that space are as follows: width 40 3/8" x height 33 1/8". I would also like the finish to be matte black, and the bi-fold doors to have black hardware. Do either or both of those options sound doable? Thank you in advance for your help with this project.
Our Comments: Here are the mockups you requested.
Fireplace Opening:
35 15/16" W x 20 15/16" H (Opening)
40 3/8" W x 33 1/8" H (Overall)
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.
These doors are made to cover all the black metal including the vents for a clean finished look where everything matches.
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.
