Customer Comments: Hello Erick, Ideally, we want a framed door with sliding mesh screen. Sliding mesh screen is top priority. We would like to hide the light brick either with side panels, or with the mesh when the sliding mesh is open. The red bricks in the front can and will be replaced by something black to match the fake ash in the bottom of the fireplace. I had looked at project number 10818 and liked Savannah, bungalow, and Carolina. I think they are quite similar?
Our Comments: Here are some mockups showing full framed mesh curtain screens without glass. These can be attached to the fireplace or made with legs as free standing screens. We also incorporated a black metal plate you can use to replace the bricks. We suggest painting the interior of the fireplace black as an option to help hide the lighter bricks on the sides.

Shown Above: I-Beam Track and Roller System. This is used for fireplaces larger than 48" wide. This type of track does not sag and allows the mesh to go the full length of the track.
Shown Above: Pet Deterrent Channel. Helps keep pets and small children out of the fireplace by making it difficult to push the screen backwards into the fireplace.
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.
