Customer Comments: Hi, I have a see through masonry fireplace. I would like ceramic glass doors on both sides.
Our Comments: Some manufacturers only make ceramic glass doors with a frame around the glass because most suppliers of ceramic glass cannot get a clean cut on the glass and the edges are chipped and sharp. Ironhaus and PW are the only two brands that cut their own ceramic glass in house and are capapble of cleaning up the edges, so they can offer ceramic glass doors with a full view of the fire. I have presented options showing both types from the low to high end.
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.

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 Fullview Bifold Ceramic Glass Fireplace Door in Black with Mesh Curtains.
Option #2: PW Breckenridge Aluminum Fullview Bifold Ceramic Glass Fireplace Door in Black with Mesh Curtains.
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 Steel Fireplace Framed Cabinet Ceramic Glass Fireplace Door with Window Pane Design in Black with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Framed Bifold Ceramic Glass Fireplace Door in Matte Black with Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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 burning fires with the doors closed.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Gasket Sealed Fullview Bifold Ceramic Glass Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #6: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Gasket Sealed Fullview Bifold Ceramic Glass Fireplace Door with Scroll Pattern in Distressed Buff Pewter with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and 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.
