Customer Comments: We need something to match the new mirror. The fireplace opening is 43 w x 28 h
Our Comments: Here are some doors with a satin brass finish to compliment your mirror in a variety of materials and price ranges.
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 temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.
Fireplace Opening: 43" W x 28" 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: Hearth Creations Profile-5 Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Anodized Satin Brass with Clear Tempered Glass and Mesh Curtains. Must be burned open.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. Formed Steel doors are made from thinner sheet metal that is bent and formed to make the 3/4" deep frame. The Solid Steel doors are made from 3/16" thick laser cut solid steel and are more heavy duty and rugged.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Formed Steel Bifold Fireplace Door in with Satin Brass Plated Sheet Metal Overlay and Gray Tempered Glass and Mesh Curtains or Gate Mesh Backup Dooors. Must be burned open.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Solid Steel Satin Brass Plated Bifold Fireplace Door with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains or Gate Mesh Backup Dooors. Can be burned closed.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Solid Steel Satin Brass Plated Bifold Fireplace Door with Laser Cut Ovals Pattern, Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains or Gate Mesh Backup Dooors. Can be burned closed.
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.
