Note from the Webmaster: Finishes appear different on every computer screen, so there is no way to accurately represent any finish on the Internet. They also can look quite different depending on the lighting in your room and the lighting when they were photographed. These are pictures of samples that we took in natural sunlight. Some of the samples have scratches and imperfections from being handled over time, so they do not represent the true quality of the finished products. Samples are available for purchase (call for details).
Finish Groups: Anodized Powder Coat | Premium | Overlays | Plated | Handles | Louvers
Aluminum Doors Only
Anodized finishes are created through an electrochemical process that actually alters the physical properties of the aluminum, so it will never crack, chip or peal. This creates an extremely durable heat resistant finish that is highly scratch resistant and will maintain it's original luster over time. Excellent for aluminum fireplace doors.
Aluminum and Steel Doors
Powder coat finishes are applied electrostatically, and are then cured buy heat. This type of finishing process is superior to high temperature paint because it forms a hard coating over the metal that is highly impervious to heat and will not rust. The process is precisely formulated and produces very consistent results with fewer imperfections. It is also the least expensive finishing process, although it has limitations and cannot replicate the more expensive artistic finishes that are hand crafted.
Steel Doors & Aluminum Doors
Premium finishes are either hand crafted or must go through multiple steps to be applied. Because these are hand applied the finishes are not as consistent and each product will have slight variations from another. If you are looking for a more consistent finish we recommend you stick with the powder coat or anodized finishes. Stainless steel is included in this group just because the cost is the same as other premium finishes.
Steel Doors Only
Overlays are plated sheet metal that can be used to wrap around some of our doors. Whenver you see overlay as an option, these are the finishes they are avilable in.
Flat Steel Plated Doors
Our plated flat steel doors come in these high quality plated finishes that are enamel coated so they never need to be polished. Plated finishes are not recommended coastal locations or areas with high moisture content.
These are the handles avaialble for screens and doors. Not all handles work with all doors, so please consult with our specialists to make sure the handles you want are appropriate.
These are standard louver designs that can be incorporated in our ZC Retrim doors. These can be used at the top and bottom of a door for heat circulating fireplaces or for decorative purposes on doors where you want a wider frame. They can also be added to the sides in some applications. Custom patterns are also possible if proper artwork is provided. Louvers are available in all powder coat and premium finishes. Plated finishes are limited to certain styles.

Photo #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.

Photo #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.
