Customer Comments: Hi, Our home, built in 1937, is a 2 story saltbox style. Interior is "Traditional". Fireplace is on opposite wall to the right of the main entry. We would like to retain the existing fan blower system. The existing doors sit atop the bar containing that system with small fan to the left. The existing doors are vented top and bottom. I am wondering if new system should be vented at the bottom also. Definitely want to avoid bifold doors. No wire mesh. "Craftsman" style might be nice. "Traditional" design? Definitely not "Modern" look. I look forward to your idea(s) for the fireplace doors, and Thank you.
Our Comments: Glass doors rarely have vents at the top nowadays as they never were very functional and allowed smoke into the room. A bottom vent is essential for feeding air to the fire and is an option available for all of our doors. Here are some examples in a wide variety of materials and price ranges that will work with your Traditional/Craftsman style.
Fireplace Opening: 31 3/4" W x 28 1/2" H (approx)
Existing Doors: 44 1/4" W x 34" 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.

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.
