Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #6: Design Specialties Carolina Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Black Nickel Doors.
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Option #7: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door with Classic Bronze Frame and Natural Iron Doors.
A less expensive alternative to solid brass, this would be made from solid steel in a combination of powder coat finishes.

These are baked enamel finishes, so they are all heat resistant. These are all Group 1 finishes, which are same price group as flat black.

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.
