Custom Glass Doors for "L" Shaped Corner Rock Fireplace - Project #20046

Customer Comments: Looking for some type of doors to minimize drafts, etc. here in NH. Hoping you can help. 60’s California ranch style. I can send more photos from adjacent rooms if that would help.

Our Comments: Based on our phone conversation and subsequent emails, I have determined that the doors must be made similar to how the current brass bar is, with the right side haveing a return. The post at the corner is set out beyond the bricks on the bottom, and those bottom bricks come out beyond the right side of the fireplace. The door must be made from solid steel in order to have a side return.

Medium Range Steel Doors

These doors are made from 3/16" thick solid steel that is laser cut. This gives us the ability to wrap the door around the post and create the required return on the right side. The frames can be powder coated or brass plated.

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.
