Customer Comments: I'm not exactly sure what I’m looking for but I want it to be simple .. brass or brass like finish .. I do like the safety element of doors to close them and not having possibly embers flying out . The current doors are very dirty and while I’ve attempted to clean them (I think I saw online with soot and newspaper?) they are not that clear . Would that be a problem even with new doors ? I'm looking to update the fireplace but not over the top as house is standard split level Hope this helps when you decide what you will recommend. Thanks
Our Comments: Here are a variety of options including glass doors and free standing screens. Pay attention to notes regarding whether the doors can be burned open or closed.
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.

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.

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.
