Customer Comments: Greg, we have this fireplace that we are looking to add a glass door to eliminate warm/cold air flow into the living room. The size is 45" wide by 31 1/4" high. Look forward to seeing watch options you present.
Our Comments: Because this is a heat circulating zero clearance fireplace, we must use doors that have louvers on the top and bottom and the doors must fit inside the bricks and mount flush to the black metal face. When you build a fire, you must burn it with the doors open. You can close the doors as the fire starts to die out.
Fireplace Opening: 45" W x 31 1/4" H

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.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
