Customer Comments: Hey Greg, I wanted to check in with you about this project. Do you guys have any new styles available for see through doors?
Our Comments: After seeing the pictures of the fireplace with the rooms furnished, I decided to scrap the previous project and create new mockups of doors that better compliment your fireplace and decor. Each of these is specifically designed to fit inside a stone fireplace opening with a mortar flange that makes it easier to fill the gap around the frame with mortar.
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: 41 1/2" W x 33 1/4" H x 1 1/2" D
These Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. Made from 1/4" thick wrought iron with heavy duty gate mesh backup doors, they are masterfully built to be functional and last decades. Each of these can be made with cabinet or bifold doors.
Option #1: Hand Crafted Plain Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #2: Hand Crafted Olde World Wrought Iron Cabinet Fireplace Door in Burnished Dark Bronze with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #3: Hand Crafted Craftsman Style Wrought Iron Cabinet Fireplace Door in Distressed Buff Pewter with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door with Scroll Detail in Distressed Natural Iron with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Grande Forge Square Arch Cabinet Fireplace Door in Brushed Gray with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
These doors are made by Design Specialtes from 3/16" thick laser cut steel with hand crafted components. Although not as heavy duty as the wrought iron doors, they have a distinct style worth considering. Ceramic glass is quite expensive and only avilable on cabinet models.
Option #6: Design Specialties Craftsman Bifold Fireplace Door in Forged Iron with Tempered or Ceramic Glass (Cabinet Only) and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #7: Design Specialties Black Rock Cabinet Fireplace Door in Rustic Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass (Cabinet Only) and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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.

Photo #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.
