Glass Doors for Off-Center Brick Fireplace with Traditional Surround - Project #20187

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, We are looking to replace the front of our fireplace with something more modern. I've attached a few pictures of our current fireplace so you can get an idea. The measurements of the current front are 52 3/4 wide by 34 1/2 tall. The mantle was painted black and we are interested in keeping the red brick around the entire thing. We don't really intend on using this fireplace but wanted to keep the option open.

Our Comments: Because the fireplace itself is not particularly modern in design, I have created quite a few mockups showing doors that are in fact moder as well as others I believe may be considered more transitional or even rustic, but can go with the overall vibe of the room. I see there is a grate heater inside the fireplace. Although all of these doors can be made to sit on top of the heater bar, only some can be burned with the doors closed if wish to use the heater. The bar at the bottom of the heater takes away from the look of most of these doors, so I have eliminated the heater in all but one of the mockups so you can see how it looks with and without it.

Fireplace Opening: 52 3/4" W x 34 1/2" 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.
