Our Comments: I have created mockups showing how the door you like would look. Keep in mind that your fireplace is a metal prefabricated fireplace while the example you presented is a masonry fireplace, so there is a difference in what doors can and cannot work. I presented several other less expensive options in case the sliding doors are beyond your budget.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
These doors are made to overlap the tile opening. The outer two panes are fixed while the inner panes slide left and right to open and close. The frame has 1/4" standoffs on the back of the frame to allow air to flow into the fireplace and prevent overheating.
This is the inspiration photo that you sent to us.
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. Heavy Gauge aluminum doors are easily installed with pressure screws, no drilling required. Lightweight aluminum doors require drilling holes in the metal fireplace for mounting brackets.
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.
