Template & Measuring Instructions
I recommend using a heavy mil Rosin paper for making the template. You can buy rosin paper by the roll at any home center. A heavy gauge craft paper may also be sufficient if it is heavy enough to be stretched tight and not tear during the prices. Cardboard will also work if you can get a perfectly square piece large enough.
Template

Template Step 1: Cut a piece of heavy paper so it fits roughtly inside the second layer of the mantel. It is important that the bottom edge is set right on top of the mantel leg columns as shown. You may need a couple people to help you by holding the paper in place while cutting it, or you can temporarily tape it to the mantel and do a rough trace. I bit of trial and error and you can get it to fit roughly as shown.
Template

Template Step 2: Mark the rough template "Outside Looking In" and then tape it in place making sure it is drawn tight and the bottom edge is perfectly aligned with the top of the mantel leg columns as shown in Step 1. Then, carefully trace the shape of the opening on the back side of the template as accurately as possible with a pencil. It is best if you hold something rigid against the other side of the paper as you go, so you can press when tracing.
Template

Template Step 2B: Do not remove the tamplate at this point. Above is an illustration of how we might expect the traced line to appear on the back side of the template.
Template

Template Step 3: Before you remove the template, take a picture so we can see that it was made properly. Take the two measurements LH and RH, measuring from the floor to the bottom edge of the template. After the picture and measurements are taken, you can remove the template and fold the tap over or cut it off, so you can roll up the template for mailing.
Template

Template Step 4: Once the template is removed, take the above measurements for the width between the mantel legs at the top and bottom and the height from the floor to the bottom center of the mantel arch. We will provide further instructions for mailing the template and providing the dimensions and emailing the picture.

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.
