Customer Comments: Hi, I am interested in getting a glass door with screen for fireplace. The ones that I am interested in are below with the dimensions. I am looking for a light color frame, light gray or satin nickel finish. I do not want a wide frame but want a good fit. Examples of doors: Silhouette Custom Fireplace Doors (Masonry Or ZC), Shadow Custom Fireplace Doors (Masonry Or ZC).
Fireplace Opening: 38" W x 29 3/4" H
Our Comments: The doors you have selected are excellent choices for your fireplace. Due to the irregularities in the stone facing, the door will need to be fit inside the opening made about 1/2" less in width and 1/4" less in height. This will leave a gap of about 1/4" on the top and sides that will need to be filled with mortar or grout. We have created examples of the two doors you liked that are aluminum frames and added the Carolina door which is a 3/16" thick solid steel frame.
We have supplied links to each door below their corresponding picture so you can get an idea of the prices and options.
Option #1: Carolina Mission Window Pane with Black Frame, Satin Nickel doors and Gate Mesh Backup Doors (Steel Door)
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.

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.
