Glass Doors for Large Smokey Firelace - Project #20189

Customer Comments: Thank you for replying to my Reddit post! I even know what I would go for: simple, black, clear glass, narrow bezel, bifold, with a vent at the bottom. I'd consider a baffle at the top of the same height as the vent for symmetry. Your doors that seem closest are "basic 2" in aluminum or "Carolina" in steel. My dimensions are 48x42, and I'll send you some measurements with decimal point precision if we go ahead!

Our Comments: The Basic-2 door cannot be burned with the doors closed, so I have replaced that with the Brookfield. You are still going to need the smoke guard. If it can be moved back about 2 inches and reinstalled, you can use it along with the glass doors. If you cannot move it back, one can be built-in to the Legend door, which I also included.

Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 42" H
