Customer Comments: Hello, I'm interested in having glass doors made for my fireplace. We use gas logs so the primary purpose of needing the screen is to seal the opening as tightly as possible. We keep getting bats in our home and the wildlife abatement team thinks that the fireplace is the only means of entry left. I want as minimal a frame as possible, probably in black so that it disappears.
Our Comments: We have selected several doors with minimal frames in black and also included some that are a little more elegant and compliment the fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 33 3/8" W x 23 1/2" H
Before:
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 #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black.
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 #2: Design Specialties Legend Elite Bifold Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door has an angle iron subframe that is behind the glass with just the edge showing on the sides.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend Elite Bifold Glass Door in Gold Rush. This door has an angle iron subframe that is behind the glass with just the edge showing on the sides.
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Flat Black. This door has no frame on the sides, just angle irons on the top and bottom. Very Minimal!
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing HYBRID-2 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Statuary Bronze. This door has no frame on the sides, just angle irons on the top and bottom. Very Minimal!
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing SD Solid Brass Sliding Fireplace Door with Floral Casting Trim in Polished Brass. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing SD Solid Brass Sliding Fireplace Door with Waves Casting Trim in Polished Brass. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing EDGE-2 Sliding Fireplace Door in Flat Black. This door has a 4-sided angle iron frame where only the edge shows around the perimeter and the angle iron is behind the glass. The doors operate like the SD Sliding Door, with 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center.

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.
