Customer Comments: Would like new doors and screens
Our Comments: Glass doors for a prefabricated fireplace like yours are not designed to create a tight seal and must be burned with the doors open. If the upper and lower tracks are removeable, the least expensive option will be the aluminum doors made to fit inside the opening. These may or may not work, depending on how the fireplace looks with the tracks removed. The rest of the mockups are doors that overlap the stone and help to hide the prefab fireplace for a more finished look. I recommend using gate mesh backup doors behind the glass instead of mesh curtains as they will be more durable.
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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto ZC Inside Fit Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door fits inside the metal opening and requires you to remove the upper and lower tracks.
Option #2: PW Breckenridge Overlap Fit Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with 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: Elegant Overlap Fit Steel Bifold Fireplace Door with Window Pane Design in Black with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Overlap Fit Flat Steel Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick heavy duty solid wrought iron. These doors are rugged and take on a more 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.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Grayson Overlap Fit Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door in Burnished Black Copper with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #6: Hand Crafted Pacifico Overlap Fit Iron Wrought Bifold Fireplace Door in Burnished Natural Iron with Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #7: Hand Crafted Old World Scroll Overlap Fit Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door in Distressed Medium Bronze with Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.
