Customer Comments: Need glass doors to center fireplace below TV
Our Comments: Here are examples of doors made with customized frame widths that will allow you to create the illusion that the fireplace is centered on the rock wall.

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.

Specifications: The above image assumes 72" between the vertical beams. The door frame must be 1" wider on each side than the amount of overlap needed to allow the subframe to fit inside the opening. We suggest leaving 1/2" room for play on each side. To do so, we will deduct 1" from the opening width. The above math shows the opening width would be 28" centered, or 27" after we allow room for play. The right side determines how much frame we need: 7" + 1.5" (side bricks) + .5" (play) + 1" (subframe) = 10". The overall width of the door would be: 27" (modified opening size) + 10" (overlap left) + 10" (overlap right) = 47". Height would be specified at 28" overal with an opening height of 25" (allowing 1/4" play in height). The frame is made from 3/16" thick laser cut steel. We can add a .75" to 2" return to the back side of the frame to help hide the cut edges of the cultured stone. These specifications will change slightly once all measurements are verified.
