Customer Comments: Hi Greg, We are moving into a new house and trying to decide what to do with the gas fireplace. We are considering hiring a bricklayer to remove the hearth (saving the front row and putting them in under the fireplace to make it a hearth-less fireplace, if that's possible). The standing screen came with the house and there won't be anything left to stand it on. We thought a hanging screen might work (like a curved screen you hang on some brackets inside the fireplace), or maybe the design on your website - the door with screens if it has rear feet with brackets to support it? There isn't anything in the room yet but our kitchen table will be behind it. Thank you for any ideas with this!
Our Comments: For starters, you should check with your city building department before removing the hearth. A hearth is required at least at floor level in most cities. With that said, here are some ideas with mockups showing the heart removed. We recommend glass doors to help block air from coming into the home since gas logs require the damper to be open permanently
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
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.
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.
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Mesh curtains are great for fireplaces raised in the wall. We recommend a full frame or top and bottom bar to help keep things in the fireplace.
