Customer Comments: I spoke with you in detail last week about ceramic glass doors , mesh screens , outside air vents, modifications to doors to add a hinge to hold a bowed screen as an extra child proofing measure. I'd like to see bowed screen to keep our daughter away but agree probably don't need to secure to brick. We’d also consider a bifold glass door , either with seals or without. I also need a log holder , am going to add a gas starter and would like some new fireplace tools. Dark Bronze is ideal color
Our Comments: Here are some mockups showing various screens and doors. Because the fireplace has a raised hearth, I believe the single panel screen will be just as effective as a bowed screen, while the glass doors are the ultimate solution. The glass doors will need to fit inside the opening and the gaps filled with mortar. I am showing some options in a vintage iron finish due to a significant difference in cost as the accessories are mass produced in this finish.
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.

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.
