Project #10965 - Glass Doors for Contemporary Fireplace with Ceramic Facing and TV
Customer Comments: 28" high x 41.75" opening of fireplace. Consistent at different points Brick on floor is 1.25" high. .25" recessed inward from side edge of ceramic tile and 2" recessed inward from top edge of ceramic. Lintel outer edge sits close to vertical up from outer edge of brick on floor.
Our Comments: Beautiful firelpace! There are quite a few options to explore depending on your budget. Your choices will also depend on whether you need to burn a fire with the doors open or closed. The raised inner hearth does create some limitations as the frame of the door must be wide enough to overlap that edge. Hope this helps.
Fireplace Opening: 41 3/4" W x 28" H

Before:
Low End Aluminum Doors
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: Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Satin Nickel Door Stiles. Shown with Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Medium Range Steel 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 #2: Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron. Shown with Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #3: Slim Moderne Fireplace Glass Door in Black with Satin Nickel Doors and Black Glass. Shown with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Items made from solid brass come in a wide variety of hand crafted patinas and other finishes. Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.
Option #4: HHFL-CVBF Hidden Hinge Bifold Door with Fixed End Panels in Oil Rubbed Steel. Shown with Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #5: SD Sliding Fireplace Door in Flat Black with 1/2" Satin Nickel Trim. The two end panes are fixed and the center panes slide left and right. Shown with Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Option #6: EDGE-2 Edge Frame Sliding Fireplace Door in Flat Black with Satin Nickel. The outer frame is an angle iron on edge. The two end panes are fixed and the center panes slide left and right. Shown with Gray Glass and Mesh Curtains.

Option #8D: C92 Bar and Mesh. This leaves the bottom bricks exposed as the screen must hang 1" back from the fireplace opening.

Mesh & Insulation Options
The Mesh options are behind the glass so you can burn the fire with the doors open and still have spark protection. Great for real wood or gas logs since most gas long manufacturers insist that you have a screen in front of the logs when they are burning. Mesh panel doors are the most popular and are best for when there are toddlers present because they will not open backwards whereas the mesh screens are easily pushed in. Insulation goes between the back of the frame and the fireplace facing, providing a better seal.
Black Mesh Curtains - These slide back and forth on a rod behind the glass
Gate Mesh Doors - These are separate doors behind the glass that have a flat wire mesh and a black frame.
Insulation: Provides a better seal between the fireplace face and the door frame.
