Customer Comments: Hi we recently ripped out an old dated fireplace and put in this stone wall in our living room. We will have a much larger tv and a nice rustic mantel. The firebox is 36"x28" Lennox. I'm wondering if we can do a custom fit door/mesh or glass on the firebox. The goal being to make this look finished. The firebox looks rough to me. Maybe it just needs some framing somehow? I would love your help!
Our Comments: I can have a trim made, mesh doors or glass doors to overlap the opening and give you a more finished look. If you want to be able to burn the gas logs with glass doors closed, you will need the Modern-1 doors that have a special Gas Log Airwas system. Read the Gas Log Warning below.
Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 28" 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: PW Breckenridge Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Clear Glass. Must be burned with the doors open.
Glass doors normally must be open when burning a gas log in order to prevent the pilot mechanism from overheating. These doors have a special Gas Log AirWash system that feeds enough cooling air into the fireplace minimize overheating and allow you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Black with Single Gate Mesh Backup Door. Optional Gas Log AirWash System for Burning Fires with the Doors Closed.
These can be burned with the doors closed. You can have this made from 3/16" Thick solid steel with no seams or from formed steel sheet metal with seams (as shown). The formed steel has a 3/4" deep frame while the solid steel flat to the fireplace (3/16" thick).
Option #3: Hearth Creations Formed Steel Fireplace Cabinet Mesh Door in Matte Black. Can also be made from 3/16" solid steel.
This trim is made from a 2.5" steel angle iron with a half round solid brass extrusion overlay. Simple, but elegant. There are many other finishes and trims to choose from. View Finishes and Trims Here!
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing Angle Iron Surround Trim in Black with Half Round Solid Brass Overlay in Antique Brass.

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.
