Our Comments: The fireplace is being remodeled with stacked stone replacing the current rock. Here are some examples of how that might look with glass doors and a steel mantel. The stacked stone can cover most of the black metal, but there are some air vents at the bottom of the opening that cannot be covered. We show how those can be accommodated.
Fireplace Opening: 36 1/2" W x 21" 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 #0: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel (brushed aluminum) with Hearth Creations Brushed Stainless Steel Shelf 72" W x 5" H x 8" Deep. Shown with black metal covered with stacked stone except for vent at bottom.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Profile 4 Overlap Fitting Aluminum Door with Matte Black Frame and Brite Nickel Doors and Handles (brushed aluminum). Brushed Stainless Steel Shelf 72" W x 5" H x 8" Deep. Shown with black metal exposed.
Option #2: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door with Steel Mantel in Rustic Black. Shown with black metal exposed.
Option #3: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door with Steel Mantel in Rustic Black. Shown with black metal covered with stacked stone except for vent at bottom.
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 #4: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door with Steel Mantel in Classic Bronze. Shown with black metal covered with stacked stone and vent holes cut into Legend frame at bottom.
Option #5: Design Specialties Legend ZC Deluxe Fireplace Glass Door. Made to cover all of the black metal with slots at the bottom.
Option #6: Design Specialties Legend ZC Deluxe Fireplace Glass Door with Tuscan Louvers. Made to cover all of the black metal.

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.
