Customer Comments: Hi, Please provide a quote for the custom corner fireplace glass and door. Photos and dimension layout attached. Please help me to decide whether outside mount vs inside mount. I would like the two side joint corner is glass and no vertical metal bar as in the screenshot below. Thanks.
Our Comments: Whether or not you wish to burn a fire with the doors close has some impact on your choice. The first two options can be burned closed. The second option cannot have an open glass corner. The third option does have an open corner, but cannot be burned closed.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W (Left Side) x 26 1/2" W (Right Side) H x 28" H
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. This must be made with a steel surround behind the door in order to accomodate the shape of the fireplace on the right side. They can be burned with the doors closed.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut. Steel doors can be cut to fit the shape of the fireplace, but cannot have an open glass corner. Keep in mind that the corner post is already blocking the view of the corner, so having a vertical frame at the corner is not much different. They can be burned with the doors closed.
Stone Manufacturing is one of the only glass door manufacturers offering a steel door that can be made to fit the shape of your fireplace and still have an open corner. It is very expensive and must be burned with the doors open.
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.
