Customer Comments: Looking for Glass Doors. Opening Size: 35" W x 30" H
Our Comments: Here are some glass doors ranging from low to high end. Option #1 overlaps the opening, but can be made to fit inside. All of the others are shown as an inside fit. The main decision will be whether you want ceramic glass so you can burn fires with the doors closed. Not all of the doors are available with ceramic glass.
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.
Fireplace Opening: 35" W x 30" H
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: Narrow Framed Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered Glass or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains. Shown as an overlap fit, but can fit inside. These doors can be made with tempered or ceramic glass
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. These doors can be made with tempered or ceramic glass

The hinges are custom made to whatever depth is necessary to accomplish this. These doors are the most rugged and are commonly ordered with ceramic glass for burning fires with the doors closed.

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.
