Customer Comments: Would like options for prefabricated fireplace doors. Im looking for something mid century modern or rustic. The kitchen is still being worked on. But I have attached the stage its at currently. Im replacing the stove.
Our Comments: Here are some examples of doors that can be made to fit your fireplace. I recommend painting the inside of the fireplace black and using gray glass to help hide the inside of the firelace when the doors are closed. Each of the mockups is presented this way except for the first one. Be sure to read the details about each of the door types as there are important differences, particularly when it comes to burning fires with the doors closed.
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: Unknown
Before:
Aluminum doors are the least expensive and are designed to fit directly inside the metal fireplace opening. For these doors to work, you must clean up all of the exposed black metal and grout around the opening to make the fireplace presentable. The doors must be open when the fire is burning.

The frame is designed to cover the black metal and overlap the tile so you do not have to clean up the fireplace front and messy grout.

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.
