Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20068

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I just sent you photos of our current fireplace screen but forgot to include any information. As you can see in the photo, the right hand side of the screen is currently held up with a piece of wood. It is an "L" shaped screen with mesh on both sides. We'd like the left side to be solid glass and the front to be glass too, with a mesh inside the glass.

Our Comments: Here are some mockups of glass doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. in various styles and price ranges. Whether or not the left side is fixed or has an operable door does not affect the price, so we recommend having an operable door so both sides look similar.

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.

Measuring Instructions

FW - Front Width
LW - Left Width
H1 - Shortest Height
H2 - Tallest Height
LP - Left Side Post Depth
FP - Front Side Post Depth

Width Measurements:

Because the bricks are a little irregular, we first need to find the narrowest brick on each side. Use a level to do this as shown in Diagram 1. Set the level to line up with the brick that protrudes the most into the fireplace opening and make a mark at the top of the level. Do this for both sides. You will then measure from that mark to the corner. Because the corner brick is also irregular, take the width measurements from 1" above the brick opening as shown in Diagram 3. We will be making the door 1" taller than the opening, so measuring from 1" above the opening will be best.

Height Measurements:

We need to find the shortest and tallest height of any point around the fireplace, whether it be the left or front side. The shortest height (H1) is from the hearth to the steel bar that is beneath the bricks. The tallest height (H2) is from the hearth to the bottom of the bricks.

Post Measurements:

We need to know how far back the post is from the left and front side
