Our Comments: Most of our steel doors are laser cut from a solid sheet of 3/16" thick steel, so the outer frame can be made to whatever width you desire. In this case, the frame needs to be about 4 3/4" wide in order to overlap 3 1/2" on the top and each side (which is basically what you are asking for). Below are some examples of doors that can be made that way in a variety of styles and price ranges.
Fireplace Opening: 36 7/8" W x 29 5/8" H
Make To Size: 44" W x 33" H
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. The door frames are made using a solid brass casting with a steel outer frame. The castings are available in a variety of patterns as shown below. The Very high end, and very refined.
Use your imagination to create the perfect fireplace screen with these solid brass castings from Stone Manufacturing. Compliment architectural details in the mantel or other furnishings in our home, or simply create your own unique look. Available in a wide variety of finishes.
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.
