Our Comments: Below are some examples of ways to treat this fireplace with glass doors. We will need to know if you are planning on repainting the fireplace or if you want the door frame to cover the unpainted area.

Fireplace Opening: Unknown

Before

Before:

Affordable Aluminum 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.

Stiletto

Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door. This door fits inside the black metal opening.

Steel Doors

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.

Carolina WP

Option #2: Design Specialties Carolina Window Pane Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door overlaps the black metal opening 1/4" on the top and bottom and fits inside the bricks.

Doors with Louvers

Doors that have louvers can be made to overlap the brick to cover up the unpainted area, slightly overlap the brick if you are repainting the bricks, or they can fit inside the brick opening.

ZC Retrim

Option #3: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Basic Louvers in Matte Black with #1523 Louver Pattern. Shown fitting inside the bricks mounted to the fireplace with magnets.

ZC Retrim

Option #4: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Basic Louvers in Matte Black with Satin Nickel Trim and #1523 Louver Pattern. Shown overlapping the brick with extra wide frame to cover unpainted area.

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.

No Mesh

Gate Mesh Backup Doors

Mesh Curtains

Glass Options

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.

Ceramic

Tempered Clear

Tempered Gray
