Customer Comments: Looking for glass doors to replace the original brass colored doors.
Our Comments: Because the stones were cut to fit the preveous door, we must custom make the new doors with a frame wide enough to cover the damaged stones. The first option is the door you liked from a different website that cannot cover the damaged stones. The others are doors that can be made to fit your fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 46 1/4" W x 33" H (Overall Frame Size)
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: Stoll Industries Belmont Aluminum Door in Charcoal with Clear Glass. Cannot be burned closed and has no bottom draft.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable. The frames are laser cut from 3/16" thick solid steel and can be made to whatever width is necessary to cover the damaged stones.

The lines in the diagram above show how the door frame must be made.
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.
