Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I would like a price on a SS mantel 83" wide(which is the width of the tile, TV is 75" Fire Box is 52.5"x32.5"), probably 3" High and 6" deep. In essence a floating shelf mantel. Also, we have a small dog and probably need to keep her out of the fireplace. Any ideas on a screen, doors or suggestions would be also appreciated. Here are some photos od our fireplace. Can you get me a price and availability please, Thanks Brad
Our Comments: Based on our conversations, I have created mockups showing the stainless steel mantel paired with glass doors and screens in a variety of materials and price ranges.
Fireplace Opening: 52 1/2" W x 32 1/2" H
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: Hearth Creations Profile-4 Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Brite Nickel (Anodized).
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.
Stainless steel is a step up from normal steel as far as longevity of the finish. These are made by the same company that makes the mantel, so they are a good match.
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. Polished and Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing SD-MCM Ultra-High-End Solid Brass Sliding Glass Door with Mini Crown Molding Trim in Polished or Satin Nickel. The outer glass panes are fixed while the inner panes slide left and right to open and close.
Option #5: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Single Panel Screen Made To Match the Mantel.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing 1P-ST Solid Brass Two Tone Stepped Fireplace Screen in Gloss Black with Satin Nickel.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing EC-20SA Ovals Fireplace Screen in Satin Nickel Plated Steel.
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.
