Customer Comments: Hello I am looking to get some fireplace doors for this masonry fireplace that currently Burns wood. I am thinking about going to gas logs in the future, but want to explore options for running wood in it currently with the doors shut and also have vents for air at the bottom to help with draft. I have tried burning it with no doors and currently get smoke inside the house from being a see-through. What options do I have?
Our Comments: It appears that your stones are not too irregular, so you may be able to do an overlap fitting door. You can also choose to fit the doors inside the opening and fill the gaps with mortar. This will provide a much tighter seal, but is a more difficult installation. We have created mockups showing doors made both ways.

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.
