Customer Comments: Hi Greg, The opening is roughly 43 1/8 X 23 1-8. I attached some additional photos as well. We are interested in a glass covering for the opening and possibly electronic ignition. We are most interested in a glass covering for the fireplace at the moment however, as keeping bugs out of the home and reducing warm and cold drafts (in addition to closing the damper) is critical.
Our Comments: Glass doors for zero clearance fireplaces are not designed to be tightly sealed. They will reduce the draft substantially, but bugs may still be able to find their way in through gaps designed into the door frame. We can discuss this further. Here are some great looking options.
Fireplace Opening: 43 1/8" W x 23 1/8" H
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: PW McKenzie Aluminum Fireplace Door in Satin Black with Clear 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 #2A: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Fireplace Glass Door in Antique Bronze.
Option #2B: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Fireplace Glass Door in Antique Bronze. Shown with Doors Open and Grand Canyon Lava Series Gas Logs.
Option #3: PW Elite Plated Steel Fireplace Glass Door in Brushed or Polished Nickel.
The outer two glass panes are fixed while the inner panes slide left and right to open and close.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing SD Sliding Fireplace Door in Dark Metallic Bronze. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. Shown with Doors Open and Grand Canyon Lava Series 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.
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.

"I have a passion for designing custom fireplace treatments, and have been doing so for over 35 years. The designs I create are not only tailored to fit perfectly, but fashioned to compliment your room decor and turn your fireplace into a tastefully finished focal point. Take advantage of my Free Design Service and let me show you the possibilities." Here are just a few reasons why you might consider buying from me:
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.
