Customer Comments: I have two fireplaces. Primary one has no door or screen and I just need something to keep the new kitten out. It has blue glass. The second one has a standalone screen. If we’re going to done I feel like we should do both and I want something nicer. They should be minimal / modern to go with the house.
Our Comments: I recommend adding glass doors or mesh doors to these fireplaces to ensure your kitten cannot get into the fireplace. You must burn the gas fire with glass doors open to prevent the burner system from overheating, except for the Modern-1 doors that have a gas log airwash system that can be burned with the doors closed.

After: Customer Comment: Hi Greg, Got it installed over the weekend but it wasn't that easy! Had to cut the brackets. Got it done but just feeding back the instruction could be better written. All that said we're very happy with the door and quality. It looks fantastic!
After:
Mesh doors provide excellent protection for pets and can be burned with the doors closed.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Steel Framed Mesh Doors in Black.
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 #2: Design Specialties Aluminum Brookfield Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Clear Glass and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door.
Gas logs should normally be burned with glass doors open to allow enough fresh air to keep the burner and safety pilot cool and prevent overheating. These heavy duty solid steel doors are made with a special Gas Log AirWash System that provides enough airflow into the fireplace to allow you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Black with Clear Glass and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door. Available with Optional AirWash System for Buring Fires with Doors Closed.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Black with Satin Nickel Overlay, Gray Glass and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door. Available with Optional AirWash System for Buring Fires with Doors Closed.
Modern-1 Frame: The Modern-1 has a unique design that allows it to be made without handles. The left photo shows the Modern-1 in Satin Nickel with a hidden back frame. The middle is a side view showing how the doors stand out about 1" from the back frame. The right photo shows a wide back frame (not hidden) with slots for the optional AirWash system that allows air to flow freely into the fireplace so you can burn fires with the doors closed. Keep in mind, these slots are always open, so they are less tightly sealed than other 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.
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.
