Customer Comments: I need to finish this fireplace redo with glass and finished edge, as well as logs
Our Comments: Zero clearance fireplaces like yours require special glass doors that are designed to overlap the marble and allow airflow into the fireplace to prevent overheating. Most of these types of doors must be burned with the doors open (Read more below). I have included some very special doors that include a Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to burn gas fires with the doors closed. When creating mockups, I cannot show how most of the doors look when they are open, so pay special attention to those that say the must be burned open. Doors with mesh curtains will help hide the labels that are visible on the sidewalls of the fireplace. Doors with a single gate mesh backup door will provide protection when the fire is burning and the doors are open.
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. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.
Important Note: After creating these mockups, I realized this appears to be a "Gas Only" fireplace, not a wood burning unit. All of the gas fire options presented below require a wood burning fireplace. If this is in fact a gas only fireplace, you must only replace the logs with the ones that came with the fireplace and none of the gas burning options below will work. Please provide the details in the measuring instructions below.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is the most affordable. You must open the doors when the gas logs are burning.

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.

 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.
