Fireplace #1: Main Floor | Fireplace #2: Terrace Level
Customer Comments: This is a Firelpace on that main floor of the home. Photos with dimensions attached. I kill forward to seeing the mockups. I do like the idea of having the screens being inset with 2 door option.
Our Comments: Here are some screens and doors in brass tone and black as we discussed.
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: 46 3/8" W x 39 3/4" H
Before:
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: Hearth Creations Profile-4 Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Brite Brass Anodized Aluminum with Tempered Glass (Only) and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #2: PW Pendleton Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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 #3: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Cabinet Fireplace Mesh Door in Black.
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 #4: Hand Crafted Heavy Duty Wrought Iron Cabinet Fireplace Mesh Door in Burnished Black.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Heavy Duty Wrought Iron Cabinet or Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #6: Hand Crafted Heavy Duty Wrought Iron Cabinet or Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Burnished Matte Plated Brass with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
These doors are hand crafted by artisans at Stone Manufacturing from solid brass with 3/8" thick glass for an added look of elegance and sophistication. They can be made as a cabinet or bifold doors, even with large fireplaces. Although shown a cabinet in this application, bifold doors are recommended as they project out half as far when open.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing Minimal-2 Solid Brass Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Black with Clear Glass and Black Mesh Curtains.
These doors are also hand crafted by artisans at Stone Manufacturing from solid brass with a very minimal look, and can be made as a cabinet or bifold doors. The bifold doors have a very clean look and are the best choice for larger fireplaces. They can be made in a variety if finishes including polished or satin brass, many decorative patinas or black. Solid brass mesh curtains are expensive, but have a silky feel to them and add a rare look of class.
Option #8: Stone Manufacturing Hybrid-2 Solid Brass Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Black with Clear Glass and Black Mesh Curtains.

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.
