Customer Comments: Hello, I am looking for a modern simple fireplace door in a silver or brushed nickel finish. I liked the Bedford, Brookfield and Stiletto styles. The fireplace has an opening of 25 1/4" Length by 41" Wide. I have attached pictures of the fireplace, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
Fireplace Measurements: 41" W x 25 1/4" H
Our Comments: Due to the irregular surface of this beautiful marble ledger stone fireplace, will need to make the doors fit inside the opening, so stock size doors will not work, they will need to be custom made. We the overall size of the frame be made 1/4" less in width and height of the smallest measurement of the opening left to right and top to bottom. This will leave only 1/8" tolerance on all 4 sides, so the measurements need to be accurate. You may or may not decide to fill in that small gap with mortar.
Option #1: Slim Modern in Satin Nickel with Textured Black Outer Frame. This is a very sheik looking door that has no handles. It opens much like a cabinet that has no handles. It is custom made from solid 3/16" thick steel barstock, so it is very sturdy and has a look of high quality, particularly in the finish, that you cannot get with the aluminum doors.
Option #2: Odyssey in All Black (2 door only). This door was designed specifically for applications where there is a big screen TV above the fireplace. The glass is black and you cannot see through it when the doors are shut. Very contemporary look and worth considering.
Option #4b: Brookfield in Rustic Black with Gray Glass. Custom made from Anodized Aluminum.
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.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
