Customer Comments: Need to cover fire place insert with brass or black screen insert with doors or mesh. Looking for ideas, maybe a grate also. Regular wood fireplace. I'll send a picture of what was there before, had a screen with doors and a heatilator installed. Thank you, Carl.
Our Comments: Here are examples of doors that can be made in black or brass or combination finishes. Some of the doors must be burned open while others can be burned closed.
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. 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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Savannah Lightweight Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. Can be burned closed up to 450F.
Option #2: Portland Willamette Gallery Lightweight Aluminum Cabinet Door with Tempered or Ceramic Glass in Textured Black with Mesh Curtains. Can be burned closed up to 1200F with Ceramic Glass.

Option #4: Hearth Creations Heavy Gauge Profile-5 Heavy Gauge Fireplace Glass Door in Matte Black with Satin Brass Doors and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Cannot be burned closed.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

These doors are made from 3/16" laser cut steel with a durable brass plated finish that you never polish. They can be made in satin or polished brass.

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.
