Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I'd like to get a quote for new doors for an old fireplace, I've attached pics but the measurements of the glass is: 35 1/2"x 19". The frame seems to be in good shape, just new doors and mesh screen. We'd like solid black and maybe a bronze frost for glass or if you have any ideas? Thanks.
Our Comments: This is a gas fireplace with limitations on the types of doors that can be used. The current door frame has a space above and below the tracks that feeds air into the fireplace. That air space must be incorporated in your new doors. Each of the options below allows for this. We do not sell replacement doors that will fit your existing frame. All of the doors we provide come with their own frames so they are guaranteed to open and close properly.
Fireplace Opening: 35 1/2" W x 19" 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.
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.
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.
