Customer Comments: Hello, I am trying to get glass doors and a screen for my fireplace. We are going to have the fire box replaced with fire brick, as it’s metal and rusted out. There are so nuances to the opening I am not sure I measured correctly as to how the door should be fitting in it to be honest, because it slants downward on bottom. I measured height from very outer edge to top of opening. Please see photos.
Our Comments: The door can be made to overlap the stone or fit inside. If we fit it inside, you will need to fill the gaps between the frame and stones with mortar. We have included examples of both. In your case, the stone is not that irregular, so an overlap fit should be fine. We will create specific measuring instructions for you, depending on which door you choose.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.
Fireplace Opening: 25 5/8" W x 29 1/8" 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.

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.
Scale & Finish Disclaimer: Mockups shown on this site are not necessarily to scale and are meant to help you choose the style of your screen or door. The appearance of finishes represented may vary between digital monitors and screens. I do my best to recommend finishes that I believe will blend with your decor and flatter your fireplace.

"I have a passion for designing custom fireplace treatments, and have been doing so for over 35 years.

Take advantage of my Free Design Service and let me show you the possibilities." Here are just a few reasons why you might consider buying from me:
Greg Tillotson (Owner/Designer)
Picture #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.
|
 Picture #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
|
Please remove all objects from in front of the fireplace opening before you take your pictures (existing screen, plants or anything else). If you have an existing glass door, take pictures with the doors open and closed.
Once I recieve your pictures, I will create several mockups and post them to a project page and send you a link to view and them with others for their input. I will follow up with you to discus your project, quote prices and help you choose the treatment that suits you best.
