Customer Comments: None
Our Comments: Below are some examples of ways to treat this fireplace with glass doors. We will need to know if you are planning on repainting the fireplace or if you want the door frame to cover the unpainted area.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
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. This door fits inside the black metal opening.
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 #2: Design Specialties Carolina Window Pane Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door overlaps the black metal opening 1/4" on the top and bottom and fits inside the bricks.
Doors that have louvers can be made to overlap the brick to cover up the unpainted area, slightly overlap the brick if you are repainting the bricks, or they can fit inside the brick opening.
Option #3: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Basic Louvers in Matte Black with #1523 Louver Pattern. Shown fitting inside the bricks mounted to the fireplace with magnets.
Option #4: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Basic Louvers in Matte Black with Satin Nickel Trim and #1523 Louver Pattern. Shown overlapping the brick with extra wide frame to cover unpainted area.
Option #5: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Industrial Age Doors and #1001 Louver Pattern in Metallic Latte. Shown slightly overlapping the bricks after being repainted.
Option #6: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Old World Doors and #1520 Louver Pattern in Antique Black. Shown slightly overlapping the bricks after being repainted.
Option #7: Hearth Creations ZC Retrim Door with Wrought Iron Trim Work and Louvers in Textured Black with Arched Doors. Shown slightly overlapping the bricks after being repainted.

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.
