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 ZC Aluminum Outdoor Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door fits inside the opening. Can be burned with doors closed.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Profile 2 Aluminum Outdoor Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Brite Chrome (Brushed Aluminum) with Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains. This door overlaps the bricks. Cannot be burned with doors closed.
Stainless Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors and well suited for outdoor applications. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend Stainless Steel Bifold Outdoor Fireplace Glass Door in Brushed Stainless with Clear Glass and No Mesh. This door overlaps the opening of the metal fireplace. Can be burned with the doors closed.
Option #4: Design Specialties Legend Stainless Steel ZC Deluxe Outdoor Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door is designed to cover the entire metal fireplace. It can be made in a brushed stainless finish or powder coat black. Can be burned with the doors closed.
Option #5: Stoll Industries Stainless Steel Outdoor Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Brushed Stainless with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door overlaps the bricks. Requires ceramic glass if burned with the doors closed.
Option #6: Stoll Industries Stainless Steel Outdoor Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Flat Black with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. This door overlaps the bricks. Requires ceramic glass if burned with the doors closed.
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.
