Customer Comments: I have an L shaped fireplace that has the original 50 year old black rusty pull screen. I'd like something cleaner and nicer looking either new screen or glass doors. I don't use the fireplace very much - haven't for the last couple of years.
Our Comments: I have created mockups showing glass doors that can be custom made to fit your corner fireplace in a variety of materials and price ranges from low to high end.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8” from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.
Fireplace Opening: 40 3/4" W (Front) x 19 1/8" W (side) x 22 1/2-23" 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: Design Specialties Stiletto Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Tempered Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #2: Design Specialties Stiletto Corner Fireplace Glass Door in Natural Iron with Tempered Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
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 #3: PW Revelation Corner Steel Corner Fireplace Door in Brushed Gray with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: Hand Crafted Original Steel Corner Fireplace Door in Buff Pewter with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and No Mesh.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.

Width measurements: Make these from the bricks on the side to the inner edge of the curner under the top row of bricks where the red lines are shown. This is basically the width of the black bar, not the brick ledge.
WL: Width of left side from bricks to curner. Do not measure the outside corner, measure where the line is drawn just above the black metal bar.
WR: Width of the right side. Same idea s measurning the left side.
Height Measurements: Make these from the hearth outside the fireplace (not where it drops down inside), up to the underside of the brick ledge at the top.
HL: Height of left side
HC: Height of center
HR: Height of right side
Post Measurements: We need to know how far back the post is inside the fireplace from the locations on each side as indicated.
PL: Post depth on left side
PR: Post depth on right side

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.
