Customer Comments: Hi Greg This fireplace is huge! The opening is exactly 6 feet across. 29 1/2" on each side and A fraction under 36" at the center. I would love something with stainless steel trim, glass doors that open and screen doors inside if possible some type of vent on the bottom would be awesome but I’m not sure if that’s necessary? I look forward to seeing some of your ideas. Thanks so much
Our Comments: Not sure if you want a stainless steel finish, or if you want the doors made from stainless steel in a black finish. I have created mockups showing both. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, you will need ceramic glass, which requires each pane to be fully frame as in Option #3
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.

Wrought iron is the most heavy duty material for fireplace doors and highly recommended for large bifolding doors. These can also be made with fullview ceramic glass panes, unlike the stainless steel doors that require fully framed panels.

Option #4B: Hand Forged Wrought Iron Arched Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Fullview Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Made with wider frame to accommodate production without a template.
Template Instructions:
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.
