Customer Comments: Hi! We have a weird, retro corner fireplace with a built in mesh screen. I don’t hate the screen as it’s super functional, but I'd like to get a glass enclosure around it for safety. We like the brushed brass and black. Simpler is better. Thank you!
Our Comments: Here are a couple options that will be suitable for your fireplace. Option #1 must be burned with the front doors open. Option #2 can be burned closed if purchased with ceramic glass. We could not remove the mesh curtains when creating the mockups, but that would need to be replaced with gate mesh backup doors instead.
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. Hearth creations doors must be burned with the doors open. Design Specialties can be burned with the doors closed.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Heavy Gauge Profile-5 Corner Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black with Satin Brass Anodized Doors and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with bifold doors on the front and a fixed glass panel on the side. Must be burned with doors open. Design Specialties makes a similar door in black with gold powder coated doors that can be burned with the doors closed.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and can be made with tempered or ceramic glass. Tempered glass must be burned with the doors open, ceramic glass can be closed.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Corner Fireplace Glass Door with Flat Black Frame and Satin Brass Flush Fitting Door Frames and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with bifold doors on the front and cabinet doors on the side. Can be made with clear tempered glass or ceramic glass.

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.
