Customer Comments: We never use the fireplace but it's in the room we spend the most time in so we want it to look better. I know that a gas insert or electric fireplace and new stonework would be expensive, so my latest idea was to replace the doors and that's when I came across your site. Curious for your thoughts on whether that would work. Looking to move away from the gold and wood and have doors that are clean and simple and hide the dirty, unattractive firebox.
Our Comments: Here are a few doors that can accomlish what you are looking to do. Each of these can be made with gray tinted glass, as shown in Option #2, or opaque black glass that you cannot see through at all, as shown in the other mockups.
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.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto ZC Bifold Fireplace Door in Rustic Black with Opaque Black Glass.
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.
Option #2: Design Specialties Legend ZC Deluxe Bifold Fireplace Door in Forged Iron with Gray Tinted Glass.
Option #3: Design Specialties Legend ZC Deluxe Cabinet Fireplace Door in Rustic Black with Opaque Black Glass.
Option #4: Design Specialties Slim Moderne Cabinet Fireplace Door in Rustic Black with Flint (Dark Gray) Doors and Opaque Black 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.
Scale & Finish Disclaimer: Mockups shown on this site are not necessarily to scale and are meant to help you choose the style of your screen or door. The appearance of finishes represented may vary between digital monitors and screens. I do my best to recommend finishes that I believe will blend with your decor and flatter your fireplace. You can view finish options here:

Samples for some finishes are available upon request.
"I have a passion for designing custom fireplace treatments, and have been doing so for over 35 years.

Greg Tillotson (Owner/Designer)
Picture #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.
|
 Picture #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
|
Please remove all objects from in front of the fireplace opening before you take your pictures (existing screen, plants or anything else). If you have an existing glass door, take pictures with the doors open and closed.
Once I recieve your pictures, I will create several mockups and post them to a project page and send you a link to view and them with others for their input. I will follow up with you to discus your project, quote prices and help you choose the treatment that suits you best.
