Customer Comments: Not sure the last one went through. We’re wondering if we can replace the mesh screen by a glass door and what would the cost be. If we have you do the retrofit, does it matter if we replace the existing tile around the fireplace before you do so? Or would it be preferable to replace the tile afterwards? Thank you
Our Comments: Here are examples showing how your fireplace might look depending on how you do the tile. Some are shown with the tile done where the same amount of black metal is showing. Others show the new tile covering all of the black metal. Some of the doors will work in both applications, meaning you can install them before the tile is done and they will work when you redo the tile. Doors designed to overlap the tile can only be installed after the tile is done. Please read the descriptions carefully.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
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.
Final Mockup: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Corner Fireplace Door in Black. Shown with the tile covering all of the black metal. This door fits inside the black metal opening and can be installed before or after the tile is done.
Option #1A: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Bifold Corner Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered Glass and Mesh Curtains. Shown with the tile done just like the original tile with some of the black metal exposed. This door fits inside the black metal opening and can be installed before or after the tile is done.
Option #1B: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Corner Fireplace Door in Black. Shown with the tile covering all of the black metal. This door fits inside the black metal opening and can be installed before or after the tile is done.
Option #2A: Hearth Creations Profile-3 Aluminum Corner Fireplace Door in Black with Satin Nickel Doors. Shown with the tile done just like the original tile with some of the black metal left exposed. This design overlaps the black metal opening about 1/2" and should installed before the tile is done.
Option #2B: Hearth Creations Profile-3 Aluminum Corner Fireplace Door in Black with Satin Nickel Doors. Shown with all of the black metal covered. This design overlaps the black metal opening about 1/2" and should installed before the tile is done. This would leave a bit of the black metal exposed on the sides that would be covered when the new tile is done.
Option #2C: Hearth Creations Profile-3 Aluminum Corner Fireplace Door in Black with Satin Nickel Doors. Shown with the tile covering all of the black metal. This design requires the tile to be done first and the door then overlaps the new tile about 1/2".
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 #3A: PW Elite Steel Corner Fireplace Door in Satin Nickel. Shown with the tile done just like the original tile with some of the black metal exposed. This design overlaps all of the exposed black metal opening and should installed before the tile is done.
Option #3B: PW Elite Steel Corner Fireplace Door in Satin Nickel. Shown with all of the black metal covered. This design overlaps the black metal opening about 1/2" and should installed before the tile is done. This would leave a bit of the black metal exposed on the sides that would be covered when the new tile is done.
Option #3C: PW Elite Steel Corner Fireplace Door in Satin Nickel. Shown with the tile covering all of the black metal. This design requires the tile to be done first and the door then overlaps the new tile about 1/2".

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.
