Customer Comments: 69-5/8 x 21-13/16. Since this fireplace is not tall, I'd like a door system that has minimal framing at the top and bottom of the door, hopefully that will place the glass in the same plane as the face of the fireplace. Also, I'd like a vent across the bottom to control airflow. Of course that will require a lower frame of some height. The faćade is made of 3 cm marble, shown in the third photo. Thank you!
Our Comments: The main consideration will be whether you want to burn fires with the doors closed, in which case you will need ceramic glass. Burning fires with the doors open requires mesh curtains for spark protection. With fireplaces this wide, the mesh curtains need to be on an I-Beam track and roller system to prevent the mesh from sagging. This is not sold by the glass door manufacturers (Except Stone Mfg) and must be installed separately. I also incuded some very special custom grates and andirons to create a finished modern elegance.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures around 450F without shattering and should be at least 8" from the flames. This is sufficient for closing the doors as the fire starts to die out to keep the heat in the home. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures around 1450F with direct flame contact. If you want the ability to burn continuous fires with the doors closed, you need ceramic glass. You can close the tempered glass doors when the fire starts to die out to keep the warm air in during the night.

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.

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need gate mesh backup doors or mesh curtains behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. 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.
