Customer Comments: I would like a quote on an insulated metal non-combustible heat shield mantel that is 55 inches in length, 3 or 4 inches in height and y inches in depth. Thank you. I am certainly open to other suggestions as well.
Our Comments: Below is a mockup showing a black steel shelf. Not sure about the proportions since the size of the wall was not provided, but I would recommend a 3" tall shelf made to a width similar to the mockup. The manufacturer recommends these shelves be installed at least 12" above the fireplace to avoid discoloration of the finish. You will not be able to meet that criteria with your application, so there will be no guarantee on the finish. It is better to have some discoloration of the mantel rather than have the electronics of the TV get fried. Black will be the best choice to help minimize discoloration.
Note: The original photo you provided was very grainy, so I used some AI software to clean it up and make the mockup more presentable.
Fireplace Dimensions: Unknown
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.

Photo #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
