Customer Comments: I have an arched outdoor fireplace that I bought 23 years ago that has rusted out and needs replacement. It consists of an arched frame at the top. And the rest is rectangular. It has swinging screen doors and separate swinging glass doors.
Our Comments: Your options for fireplace doors that can resist corrosion in salt air environments is very limited. There is no perfect solution as all metals that fireplace doors are made from will eventually rust in your application. The most corrosive resistant materials are powder coated 304 stainless steel or zinc coated wrought iron. In addition to these materials, you are going to want ceramic glass in order to burn fires with the doors closed when it gets windy. Below are examples of materials with doors that can be made with ceramic 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.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
These doors are made from 3/16" thick solid 304 stainless steel with stainless steel mesh and hardware and then powder coated. Ceramic glass is optional, but highly recommended so you can burn fires with the doors closed.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Arched Framed Cabinet Outdoor Firelace Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Stainless Steel 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. The wrought iron is zinc coated then powder coated for maximum resistance to corrosion and the optional gate mesh backup doors are made from 316 marine grade stainless steel. This also the only manufacturer that makes fullview bifold doors using ceramic glass. All other manufacturers must frame the ceramic glass due to the rough edges from their suppliers. This manufacturer cuts the glass in house and is capable of smoothing the edges so they can remain exposed.
Option #2: Hand Crafted Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Arched Fullview Bifold Outdoor Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty 316 Stainless Steel Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #3: Hand Crafted Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Olde World Style Arched Cabinet Outdoor Fireplace Door in Hammered Expresso Powder Coat with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty 316 Stainless Steel Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hand Crafted Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Olde World Style Arched Cabinet Outdoor Fireplace Door with Scroll Detail in Vintage Iron Powder Coat with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Heavy Duty 316 Stainless Steel 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.
