Customer Comments: Hello, I am looking to add a door for my gas fireplace, which currently has a mesh curtain. My primary objective is to block the sound coming through the chimney. Could you suggest options?
Our Comments: The hood area cannot be blocked off as it is a means for allowing airflow to keep the fireplace cool. We can make a door fit inside under the hood, or remove the hood and have a door with a louver to replace the hood. This will reduce the noise substantially, but will not eliminate it.
Fireplace Opening: 42 1/2" 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 #1A: Design Specialties Stiletto ZC Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass. This door would be made to fit under the hood.
Option #1B: Stiletto ZC Closeup
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 #2A: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Fireplace Glass Door with Louver in Matte Black with Gray Glass. This door would replace the hood.
Option #2B: Flat Steel Door Closeup

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.
