Contemporary Chrome and Stainless Steel Fireplace Doors - Project #11063
Customer Comments: Dear Design Team, While surfing the web, I ran across your site. I am looking to install Fireplace Doors so we can use our fireplace for the first time since 1990. The house is very modern and would like set of Chrome or Stainless Steel Doors, with a very modern design. I have attached a photo of the Fireplace opening for your review. Please note the side of the opening is rough stone; however the top and bottom have finished stone surfaces.
Our Comments: Here are several options of doors made in a satin nickel, polished chrome or stainless steel finishes made from various materials in a broad range of prices.
Fireplace Opening: 47 1/2" W x 35 5/8" H (roughly)

Before:
Affordable 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: Bungalow Fireplace Glass Door in Brushed Aluminum (Satin Nickel) with Black Mesh Curtains.
Option #2: SI-PROFILE-2 Aluminum Bifold Door in Brushed Aluminum (Satin Nickel) with Clear Glass and Black 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 #3: Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Satin Nickel Plated Steel. Shown with Black Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #4: SI-304-STAINLESS All Stainless Steel Door with Clear Glass and Black Mesh Curtains.
High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass or Steel
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. Polished Chrome finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and have a very deep luxurious shine that lasts many years longer than plated steel finishes.
Option #5: DF1G-FS9 Luxurious Solid Brass Twin Door with 3" Split Tube Surround in Polished Chrome with Stainless Steel Mesh Curtains.

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.
