Glass Door and Mantel for Fireplace Remodel - Project #11518

Our Comments: The fireplace is being remodeled with stacked stone replacing the current rock. Here are some examples of how that might look with glass doors and a steel mantel. The stacked stone can cover most of the black metal, but there are some air vents at the bottom of the opening that cannot be covered. We show how those can be accommodated.

Fireplace Opening: 36 1/2" W x 21" 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.
