Customer Comments: Need a mantel and doors installed in my fireplace
Our Comments: The steel mantels I carry can be made as a floating shelf or surround with legs. Your stone facing is disproportional to the height of the opening. Some of the mockups help correct the proportions better than others. Regarding the doors, you will need to decide if you want ceramic glass or tempered 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 temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.
*Half Price Closeout Specials: These are rare items from Stone Manufacturing that were discontinued just before they sold their business. I purchased everything they had in stock and am selling them at half price while supplies last. See More: Fireplace Accessory Closeout Specials!

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.

These rare discontinued items were acquired from Stone Manufacturing by Fireplace Treatments when they closed down their Gardena manufacturing facility. They are being sold at half price while supplies last. Most of these items have only 1 or 2 left, so you can be one of the last people in the USA to own one of these rare gems.
Half Price Closeout Special WI-T5-34 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools | Natural Iron | 34H | While Supplies Last | Natural Iron: 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.
