Customer Comments: I am looking to add either glass doors or a screen against the fireplace. My preference is gold toned.
Our Comments: Here are several ways to treat this fireplace including glass doors and free standing screens.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is the most affordable.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door with Fixed Side in Gold Powder Coat.
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: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Fixed Side in Gold Powder Coat.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Fixed Side with Satin Brass Plated Overlay.
These screens are hand crafted by skilled artisans at Stone Manufacturing from Solid Brass. They can be made in polished brass as shown, or a variety of patinas, antique and bronze finishes. View: Stone Manufacturing Trims and Finishes.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing 1P10M Solid Brass Free Standing Corner Mesh Fireplace Screen with Round Feet in Polished Brass.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing 1P10M Solid Free Standing Brass Corner Glass Fireplace Screen with Round Feet in Polished Brass. Note: The screen must be pulled away at least 6-8" when the gas is burning
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.
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 sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
