Customer Comments: Hi Greg, We are doing work in our new home in San Diego, CA but don’t like the black doors etc on there as well as the black brick in the back. We also want to explore gas logs instead of the glass pieces since we have young children. Would love to see a quote from you if it’s something you can do. I am also attaching the inspo for what we would want it to look like (see Example below).
Our Comments: Here are a variety of options for glass doors that can be made with a wide frame to cover all of the black metal. Some are pictured with gas logs burning with the doors closed, which is not correct. I just cannot show the gas logs without the flames in those cases. Please read the gas log warning below.
Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.

Glass doors normally must be open when burning a gas log in order to prevent the pilot mechanism from overheating. These doors have a special Gas Log AirWash system that feeds enough cooling air into the fireplace minimize overheating and allow you to burn your gas logs with the doors closed.
Option #7: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Cabinet Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Burnished Copper with Broned Iron Doors and Single Gate Mesh Backup Door. Includes Gas Log AirWash System for Burning Fires with the Doors Closed. Shown with Grand Canyon Lava Series Gas Logs with GloFire Technology. These are the only logs on the market with burners cast inside the logs so flames come directly out of the logs themselves. They are by far the most realistic gas logs on the market, but also one of the most expensive.

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.
