Custom Doors for 100 Year Old Gothic Arch Fireplace - Project #20273

Customer Comments: Fireplace has problems with smoke. Would like to match the detail of the window example if possible.

Our Comments: Here are two concepts that will work for your fireplace. Because fireplace doors have a subframe, we must make the frame wide enough on the bottom and sides for the subframe to clear the bottom bricks and side tiles. If we make the doors rectangular, the outer frame will act like a smoke guard by reducing the opening size. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we can add Ceramic Glass to the wrought iron door which can handle temperatures up to 1400F, which is sufficient.

Medium Range Steel Doors

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.
