Customer Comments: Glass fireplace doors
Our Comments: Based on your photos, I am assuming that the preferred finish will be black or natural wrought iron. The mockups below represent doors in a variety of price ranges based on the materials from which they are made. I have selected doors that can be made with either tempered or ceramic glass depending on whether you want the ability to burn fires with the doors closed (read not below). I also included some appropriate fireplace tools and custom grates.
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.
*Closeout Specials: These items were purchased from Stone Manufacturing just before they went out of business and are being sold at or below half price while supplies last. See More: Fireplace Accessory Closeout Specials!

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: PW Creekside Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains. Shown with 18003 Black Iron Fireplace Tools and 3/4" Bar Contoured Grate.
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 #2: Elegant Steel Cabinet Fireplace Door with Window Pane Design in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with 18003 Black Iron Fireplace Tools and 3/4" Bar Contoured Grate.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron with heavy duty gasketed doors for a tighter seal and maximum draft reduction. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. These doors are most commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring fires with the doors closed.
Option #3: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with Hand Forged Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools and Heavy Duty Hand Forged Grate with 1" Pyramid Top Bars

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.

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.
