Customer Comments: Need super simple, but high quality fireplace doors with screens. Mantle and surround are black nero marble. Maybe glass is better that we can close b/c we have kids / heating already costs a fortune and we don't want to leak heat all night when we can't close the flu. Just want to make sure whatever we do is super simple to let the marble shine.
Our Comments: Here are a variety of glass doors and mesh doors from low to high end. Those available with ceramic glass can be burned with the doors closed. Tempered glass can be closed as the fire dies out. Read more below.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures around 450F without shattering and should be at least 8" from the flames. This is sufficient for closing the doors as the fire starts to die out to keep the heat in the home. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures around 1450F with direct flame contact. If you want the ability to burn continuous fires with the doors closed, you need ceramic glass. You can close the tempered glass doors when the fire starts to die out to keep the warm air in during the night.
Fireplace Opening: 32.75" to 33" W x 29" H
Fireplace floor is 1.625" back from the opening and raised .75"above the hearth.
Before:
I created these mockups before you decided you wanted glass doors, so if you change your mind, here they are.
Option #1: Hearth Creations Low End Formed Steel Fireplace Mesh Door in Matte Black. Made from Sheet Metal with Seams.
Option #2: High End Solid Steel Fireplace Mesh Door with Pseudo Clearview Doors in Flat Black. Can also be made in Gloss Black.
Option #3: High End Solid Brass Fireplace Mesh Door with Pseudo Clearview Doors in Antique Bronze. Can also be made in flat or gloss black.
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 #4: Design Specialties Stiletto Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered Glass (Only) and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #5: PW Creekside Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic 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.

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.
