Magnet Mount Glass Doors for Desa B36L Fireplace - Project #20476

Customer Comments: The fireplace opening with screens is a ESA model B36L. I've never had glass doors to conserve heat so I'm looking for a magnetic folding glass door solution

Our Comments: Magnet mounted doors are designed to cover the entire black metal fireplace, including the louvers. Your Desa fireplace appears to have a fan on/off switch on the bottom betwee the right and center louvers. This complicates issues for magnet mount doors. You will have 4 choices:

1. Cover the switch, leaving it inoperable.
2. Have the door made with removable louvers.
3. Have a cutout made to fit around the switch.
4. Install doors that fit inside the opening having pressure mount screws instead of magnets.

I have created mockups illustrating each of these options.

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.
