Customer Comments: Please quote Brass doors for 4 different fireplaces and as an alternate black doors
Our Comments: I will use this fireplace as an example. There are several brass finishes available: Anodized Aluminum Satin Brass, Brass Plated Polished Brass and Solid Brass. The prices vary dramatically. Solid brass is very high end and will have the deepest shine as it can be highly polished, wherease plated brass will rub off when put under a polishing wheel. The solid brass doors are made by a company that will be closing their doors at the end of the month and there are no other manufacturers in the USA that make them.
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.

Before:
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 #1B: PW Pendleton Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Can Be Burned Closed.
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 can be brass plated in a polished or satin brass finish, or just plain black.

Option #2B: PW Elite Steel Fireplace Door in Satin Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains. Cannot Be Burned Closed.

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 DF1G-MCM Solid Brass Clearview Bifold Fireplace Door with Mini Crown Molding Trim and Half Round Doors in Polished Brass with Tempered Glass Only and Mesh Curtains. Cannot 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.
