Customer Comments: Remodeling fireplace with shiplap and adding TV. Modifying opening from 48" W x 27" H to 45" W x 17" H in order to lower the TV. Need glass doors that make the opening appear at least as wide as the TV.
Note: Building codes require at 6" space from the opening to the shiplap. We can accomodate that space using a wide frame, or you can use some other non-combustible material, such as slate.
Our Comments: There are several ways to approach this using gray glass, dark gray glass or completely opague black glass. We recommend adding an insulated mantel to protect the TV from heat. Here are some examples. These are purely mockups based on your description. Once we receive your actual photos, we may redo the mockups if necessary.
Fireplace Opening: 45" W x 17" H
Before:
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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Anodized Satin Nickel with Opaque black Glass and Fixed End Panels.
Option #2: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black or Gloss Black with Opaque black Glass and Fixed End Panels. Shown with Black Insulated Steel Mantel.
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.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door with Fixed End Panels in Satin Nickel or Stainless Steel with Opaque Black Glass.
Option #4: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door with Fixed End Panels in Rustic Black with Satin Nickel Doors and Opaque Black Glass. Shown with Black Insulated Steel Mantel.
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #5: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Surround Trim with Stone Manufacturing EDGE-4 Sliding Glass Door with Satin Nickel Track and Clear Glass. Shown with Doors Open.
Option #6A: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Mantel Surround with Stone Manufacturing EDGE-4 Sliding Glass Door in Satin Nickel with Clear Glass. Shown with Doors Open.
Option #6B: Shown with Doors Closed.
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.
