Customer Comments: Will install natural stone around fireplace, you need measurements from inside edge to edge or outside?
Our Comments: Here are some mockups showing several different ways to install a door. The doors can fit completely inside the metal opening, overlap the metal opening about 1/2" or cover the entire black metal fireplace. So where to measure will be determined by how you plan on applying the stone and which door type you choose. Once we narrow that down, we will create a measuring diagram.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door fits entirely inside the black metal opening
Option #2: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Natural Iron with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door overlaps the opening about 1/2".
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #3: Design Specialties Carolina Window Pane Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door overlaps the metal opening about 1/2".
Option #4: Design Specialties Legend ZC Deluxe Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door covers the entire black metal fireplace.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details. They are designed to cover the entire black metal and attach with magnets, so there is no installation required.
Option #5: Hearth Creations Iron Age 4 Retrim Fireplace Glass Door in Burnished Bronze with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #6: Hearth Creations Industrial Age 1 Retrim Fireplace Glass Door in Burnished Copper with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #7: Hearth Creations Iron Age 6 Retrim Fireplace Glass Door in Textured Black with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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.
