Customer Comments: What doors do you recommend for this fireplace.
Our Comments: Zero Clearance Fireplaces that are raised in the wall require special doors that allow proper airflow into the fireplace to prevent overheating. The options below are all designed with special venting that allows them to overlap the opening and fit flush for a clean look.
Fireplace Opening: 41" W x 20 1/2" H

Before:
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: SI-PROFILE-6 Bullnose Fireplace Door in Brushed Aluminum with Gray Glass.
Option #2: SI-PROFILE-2 Narrow Frame Fireplace Door in Burnished Copper with Gray Glass.
Option #3: SI-ZC-TRIMVENT Bifold Fireplace Door in Antique Grey with Gray Glass. This door has a vent slot down the center of the frame.
High End Hand Crafted Doors
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 #4B: SD Sliding Fireplace Door with Lightly Distressed Oil Rubbed Steel. This door has 2 fixed panes of glass on the right and left sides and 2 sliding panes in the center. There are spacers on the back of the frame that create a 1/4" gap between the frame and the facing for proper airflow.

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.
