Customer Comments: Hi Greg - Interested in a very light/contemporary black frame. Not sure about the glass door design yet. Open to suggestions.
Our Comments: The options below are as simple as they get. These can be burned with the doors closed. The first option has tempered glass and requires bifold doors. The second and third options have ceramic glass with tightly sealed doors and can be bifold or cabinet.
Fireplace Opening: 46" W x 36" H (Center) x 32" H (Sides)
Before:
These doors have 1/4" fully tempered safety glass, which can handle about 450 degrees continuous. You can burn them with the doors closed, but you must be careful to keep the fire at least 8" from the glass and not have a roaring fire.
Option #1: Design Specialties Legend Arched Bifold Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Gray Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
These doors have ceramic glass, which can handle over 1200 degrees continuous. You can burn them with the doors closed and the fire can be closer to the glass, but you must still maintain a reasonable burn rate.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Arched AirSeal Gasketed Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door with Pyro Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors in Matte Black.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Arched AirSeal Gasketed Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Pyro Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors in Matte Black.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Iron Age-6 Cabinet Glass Door with Wrought Iron Details in Metallic Latte with Pyro Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.

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.
