Customer Comments: W - 55" side H29" center Arch 33" #3 design Bi-fold clear glass doors Inside of Brick opening All flat black (including hinges and hardware
Our Comments: The #3 design cannot be made in a bifold arched door this large. Here are some mockups showing doors that will work for your application. Some can be made with tempered or ceramic glass and one comes only with tempered glass. I am showing some additional finish options in case others view this project for ideas.
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: 55" W x 33" H (Center) x 29" H (Sides)
Before:
These doors are laser cut from 3/16" thick solid steel and can be made with tempered or ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is necessary for burning fires with the doors closed. Gate mesh backup doors are recommended for burning fires with the doors open.

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.
