Customer Comments: 42" x 32" opening. Please send me 3 different styles a couple black
Our Comments: I could not limit the choices to just 3 due to the variances in materials and prices that are available. Here are 5 doors that will give you a good range of options.
Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Because the original picture was taken with the gas logs burning, I was not able to create mockups with the fire off, so ignore the fact that these are shown with the doors closed, even though it is not allowed.
Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 32" 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: Design Specialties Aluminum Brookfield Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #2: PW Breckenridge Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Clear Glass and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door.
Glass doors normally must be open when burning a gas log in order to prevent the pilot mechanism from overheating. These doors have a special Gas Log AirWash system that feeds enough cooling air into the fireplace minimize overheating and 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 Stainless Steel Doors and Clear Tempered Glass. Includes Gas Log AirWash System for Burning Fires with the Doors 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.
Option #4: Elegant Steel Cabinet Fireplace Door with Window Pane Design in Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron with heavy duty gasketed doors for a tighter seal and maximum draft reduction. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. The forging process produces a unique texture that you cannot get with laser cut steel and there are added hammered textures that can be for a more rustic applications. These doors are often used for extremely large fireplaces because of their heavy duty solid frame and hinges. They are commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring hot fires with the doors closed.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Summerton Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door in Burnished Black Copper with Clear Glass and Heavy Duty Single Gate Mesh Backup Door.
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.
