Customer Comments: I’m looking to design and quote a complete, cohesive fireplace treatment for a masonry fireplace and would appreciate your guidance on options, design, and pricing.
Our Comments: The mockup below features all of the elements you addressed in the further details of your request. I selected the andirons and tools from my Closeout Specials. The glass doors feature our classic scroll design. I would recommend ceramic glass in this application, which gives you the choice of burning fires with the doors open or closed. You can view additional options for Wrought Iron Fireplace Doors Here!. If you have a particular scroll pattern you like, I can have most anything replicated.
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.
*Closeout Specials: These items were purchased from Stone Manufacturing just before they went out of business and are being sold at or below half price while supplies last. See More: Fireplace Accessory Closeout Specials!

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. Because of their heavy duty solid frame and hinges, these doors are commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring hot fires with the doors closed.
Each of these items are hand forged heirloom quality pieces made to last generations.
Option #1: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door with Classic Scroll Design in Distressed Natural Iron with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with Closeout Special* WI-AN9 19" Tall Liege Andirons, Closeout Special *WI-T5 34" Tall Seville Firelace tools and Heavy Duty Custom Wrought Grate with 1" Bars.
Option #2: Collage. The Tools and Andirons were made by Stone Manufacturing, so the natural iron finish will differ from that of the fireplace 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.
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.
