Customer Comments: Greg, thank you for looking at this for me. I am also sending over a pic from a magazine we like following this upload. Our exterior opening is width 35 7/16, height 31. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.
Our Comments: If you wish to continue burning gas logs,
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 7/16" W x 31" 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: PW McKenzie Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Black. This compliments some of the molding details in the mantel.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Profile-4 Aluminum Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door in Anodized Brushed Chrome.
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: Hearth Creations Mid-Century Modern 1 Cabinet Fireplace Door in Brushed Nickel.
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.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing Minimal-1 Inside Fit Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel with Black Frame. This door has 3/8" thick low iron ultra-clear glass for a fresh sophisticated look and almost no visible frame.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing SD Sliding Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Waterfall Handles. The outer panes of glass are fixed while the inner panes slide left and right to open and close. Shown with doors open.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing EDGE-4 Inside Fit Sliding Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Waterfall Handles. Incorporates a narrow angle frame on edge with sliding doors.
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.
