Customer Comments: Please estimate matte black steel frame with glass doors. Stone hearth has irregular arch opening roughly 35 1/2" across the bottom and 27 1/2" at the highest point of the arch.
Our Comments: Here are some examples of doors made from steel or wrought iron. When adding ceramic glass, some brands must have fully framed doors while others can be made without the vertical frames. We have shown examples of both types.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.
Fireplace Opening: 35 1/2" W x 27 1/2" H (Center)

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.
