Customer Comments: Hello, I am looking for doors for my Master Bedroom fireplace. Approximate dimensions (shortest of 3): Opening Width 35 13/16" Hearth to Lintel 25 15/16" Hearth to Brick 26 5/16" Firebox is about 3/4" lower than hearth My wife wants something with a "chrome" type of finish (i.e. "silver" metal, polished/shiny). Thanks
Our Comments: Here are some examples of doors that can be made in a Polished Chrome or Nickel Finish. The finest quality finish will be chrome or nickel plated solid brass, which will have a very deep rich shine like fine jewelry. I included two anodized aluminum doors in a brushed steel finish in case the others are beyond the budget.
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.
Fireplace Opening: 35 13/16" W x 25 15/16" H (Lintel) x 26 5/16" H (Bricks)
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.

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 #4: PW Broadway Steel Cabinet Fireplace Door with Platinum Outer Frame and Polished Nickel Doors with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains.
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. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like 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.
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.
