Our Comments: There are 2 options for adding glass doors to a convex bowed fireplace like this. Fit a rectangular door inside the opening and fill in the gaps with mortar (roughly $1500), or have a bowed glass door made to fit the curve (roughly $4500). The glass panes in the bowed door are flat, so several panes of glass are often needed to work around the curve. In this case, a normal bifold door will work because the curve is not drastic. Here are examples of both options.
Fireplace Opening: 37" W x 24 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.
