Customer Comments: Greg, I am looking for someone to build a custom 2 door fireplace screen with mesh in the doors for this fireplace I recently completed. I have attached photos and a drawing showing the size. We are looking for a 2 panel outswing door with mesh infill not glass. Is that something you could help with?
Our Comments: Love this fireplace! Yes, I can have a cabinet mesh door made to fit. Here are some examples in various materials and price ranges you can share with your client. We would make the frame 1/8" smaller on the top and each side and you can have the gap filled with grout.
Fireplace Opening: 30 1/8" W x 25" H
Suggested Make To Size: 29 7/8" W x 24 7/8" 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.

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.

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.

These are baked enamel finishes, so they are all heat resistant. These are all Group 1 finishes, which are same price group as flat black.

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.
