Customer Comments: We are looking for glass doors, yes we removed the gas insert and are returning it back to wood. We like clear glass, and as much glass for viewing, air tight for efficiency.
Our Comments: There are no doors that are completely air tight, but we do have what are called "Tight Fitting Doors", which come as close to air-tight as you can get. They are quite a bit more expensive than typical doors, so we included a leass expensive option. With that saide, most of our doors actually have a pretty good seal without the tight fitting door option and should be more that sufficient to drastically improve the efficiency of your fireplace. The main thing is to fit the doors inside the opening and fill the gaps with mortar as shown in the mockups.
Fireplace Opening: 34" W x 26 1/2" H
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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.
Option #2A: Design Specialties Legend Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Tight Fitting Door Option in Rustic Black. Shown with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #2B: Design Specialties Legend Twin Fireplace Glass Door with Tight Fitting Door Option in Satin Nickel (or Polished Nickel). Shown with Clear Glass and 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.
