Customer Comments: This is our fireplace. There is a shelf on the right side about 9 1/4 wide by 17 7/8 tall. I believe it may have been originally meant for cooking food or boiling water. We would like to have folding glass doors on the main portion of the fireplace which is 28 7/8 tall by 31 3/4 wide. On the right where the lip is we would like to have a small metal door that could be opened and closed or removed and replaced. So if anyone ever wanted to use the fireplace for cooking, they could do so. Additionally, we are having a new flue put in. The lever to the new floe will be on the right wall just inside the fireplace close to the top. I can send pics of the lever next week once it is installed if needed. We wanted to get a rustic black frame with a right side rustic black door or hatch. Please let me know if this is possible for you to do. Thank you.
Our Comments: Below is the basic concept of how we would normally treat this type of fireplace using two glass doors.
Fireplace Opening: See Below
Before:
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.

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.
