Also if poss would like to see pics with "tight fitting doors - with 1/2" frame"
Our Comments: We recommend using a 2" wide frame on an arched door for a brick fireplace like yours. This gives you plenty of room for play with a 1" overlap on the sides. We would make the door fit under your arch, so there will be a slight gap at the top that can be filled with mortar or left as is. The tight fitting doors would be made the same way. You cannot use mesh curtains on an arched opening since the mesh would be longer in the center than the sides and there would be no way to open them. So you can only use gate mesh backup doors on an arched fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 35 3/8" W x 32 1/8" H

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.

 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.

 Photo #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
