Customer Comments: I'm attaching two pictures of our fireplace. The first pic is the fireplace in the house BEFORE we started the renovation. The second pic is from a few weeks ago. The cabinet in the pic will go into the recessed space. You can see a black mount above the fireplace where a walnut live edge mantel will go (a sample of the wood is on top of the cabinet). The blue outline is where a wall mount big screen TV will go.
The inside dimensions of the fireplace are 29" high x 43" wide.

Our Comments: Based on our conversation, here are the doors I recommend in a variety of materials and levels of quality. If the gas logs are new, I may suggest you consider clear glass. On the flip side, some of the doors can be made with opaque black glass that you cannot see through at all if you wish to hide the inside of the fireplace completely.
Fireplace Opening: 43" W x 29" H
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.
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.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
These unique sliding doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans at Stone Manufacturing. The outer glass panes are stationary, while the inner panes slide left and right to open and closed. Ideal for gas logs.
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.
