Our Comments: Here are some doors we recommend for this fireplace. All of these can be made as mesh doors or glass doors with mesh behind the glass. Doors with tempered or ceramic glass can be closed when starting the fire and as the fire is dying out to reduce smoke and prevent cold air from coming into the home. Some of the doors can also be burned with the doors closed once the fire gets going depending on the type of glass that is used.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass, although some tempered glass doors can be burned closed with reasonable fires as long as the flames are kept at least 8" from the glass.
Fireplace Opening: 45 1/4"-45 3/8" W x 36"-36 1/4" H

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.
