Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20239

Customer Comments: Good afternoon, Greg. I came across your information online, so I thought I would reach out. I have attached a picture of our living room fireplace so you can have a visual. It is 38" tall and 42" wide (rough). I am not happy with our fireplace for the few reasons:

• We end up getting smoke in the house when burning fires (the outside of the fireplace turns smokey brown by the end of the year and we have to repaint it each year)
• When we are not using the fireplace, I don't like the way that it looks because of the discolored fire brick. I'm trying to come up with a solution to change the focal point when not in use.
• When burning fires, it would be ideal to have a screen because we had to replace our last rug because of some burn marks from sparks (it was white).
• I think doors would be the best solution. If we had a stand along screen it would be annoying to move it out of the way each time. Also, I'm not a big fan of just a sliding screen.

Our Comments: It is not unusual to have smoke issues with fireplaces like yours that have a tall opening. Often times, reducing the opening size by 6" or 8" will cure the issue. I can have a smoke guard added to the back side of the frame behind the doors that effectively reduces the opening size. I have included that in the options below. You can see it in Option #1, but it is hidden behind the tinted glass in the other options and disappears.

Fireplace Opening: 41 5/8" W x 37 7/8" H (smallest)
