Customer Comments: A polished brass door that hopefully you can replicate, or make a 2" wide surround 3/8" thick. Additionally, a kick-step to adhere with glue over the tiles at the bottom of the fireplace measuring 87" long and 8 1/2" high. The fireplace opening is approximately 28 X 35. I framed the fireplace with gold wrapping paper to see if I liked it. :)
Our Comments: The glass door will need a 2 1/2" wide frame and will be made from 3/16" thick solid brass. We have several types of doors that can be made this way. The one you chose has hidden hinges for a sleek look, but it only opens about 120 degrees. We included an option with bullet hinges where the doors can open 180 degrees either cabinet or bifold.
Fireplace Opening: 35" W x 28" H
Before:
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.

These doors are made from solid steel with a brass plated sheet metal overlay. This type of material is the next best thing to solid brass, but will not have as deep a shine as solid brass.

We need to know the minimum and maximum width and height of the opening since they are never perfect.
Here are detailed measuring instructions for this type of screen:
H1: Minimum Height: Shortest Height from bottom of lintel to floor of fireplace. The lintel is the steel bar that is beneath the top row of bricks. The minimum height would be measured from the bottom of that lintel down to the fireplace floor. You need to check it all across the opening to find the smallest height.
H2: Maximum Height: This would be the tallest height from top bricks to floor of fireplace. Measure all the way across to find the tallest height from brick to brick.
H3: Bottom Gap: Find the Smallest gap from floor of fireplace to tiles.
W: Opening Width: Find the smallest and largest width between the bricks. This usually varies up to 1/4", so measure the width between each brick to find the smallest and largest. So “W” is actually 2 measurements.

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.
