Customer Comments: 3 way fireplace. Looking for safety screen door for our baby not to get in Front is 49 1/2 Sides are 18 1/4 Height is 24”. We are going to remove the hearth and mantel and then replace the brick with some type of porcelian so were looking at some options of glass around the fireplace.
Our Comments: Below are 3 different types of doors that are suitable for a multi-sided fireplace like yours that is burning gas. Please read the details about each of the types to help you make your choice. They are all available in a wide variety of finishes.
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.
Fireplace Opening: 49 1/2" W (Front) x 18 1/4" W Sides x 24 " H
Before:
Aluminum is the least expensive material. The advantage of these doors is they can be made with glass to glass corners. They would be made with bifold doors on the front that must be open when the fire is burning and fixed glass panels on the sides that do not open. The main disadvantage is the doors look a bit odd when they are open when the fire is burning. View Finish Options Here!
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Anodized Satin Nickel with Fixed Side Panels. Frame projects out 1 5/8". Shown with Stainless Steel Tangled Gas Burning Sculpture and Glass Crystals.
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.

This door is uniquely suited for multi-sided fireplaces with gas fires. The front has two inner glass panes that slide left and right in front of two fixed side panes to open and close in front of two fixed side panes. The short side returns are also fixed. This creates a sophisticated look for burning gas fires with the doors open. This door is also available in rich brass and bronze patina finishes. View Trim and Finish Options Here!

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.
