Glass Doors for Extra Tall Fireplace - Project #11164

Customer Comments: Hi, We are looking for fireplace doors for a fireplace that is currently open without any permanent doors or screen. It is a masonry fireplace that was a wood burning fireplace converted to natural gas several years ago. It was a wall of brick with a raised hearth and surround that was converted about 10 years ago to the granite "floating" surround and flat hearth that is only about .25" above the wood flooring. Challenges:

1 - The opening is taller than it is wide - 39 7/8" H X 34 7/8" W-granite to granite (36 5/8" inside Masonry brick to brick)
2 - When the conversion was done, the opening was created a little larger than it probably should have been and we could see the damper controls when sitting in the room. Due to that and the fact that the mantel was starting to discolor, we put a smoke shield at the top of the opening that you can see in the pictures. It is about 6" high and can be removed but we would want the doors to have some design element incorporated into them to compensate for that shield.

The granite has shades of black, gray, brown, tan, white, cream and flecks of gold.

Our Comments: Here are some glass doors designed with a wider frame at the top. We see no reason why the smoke guard cannot remain in place behind the glass, particlarly if you use a gray tinted glass. We have created several mockups showing that option as well.

Fireplace Opening: 34 7/8" W x 39 7/8" H

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.
