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: Design Specialties Stiletto Cutback Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with 4 Sided Frame and Draft Assembly.
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: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door with 4 Sided 1 1/2" Wide Frame and Draft Assembly.
Option #3: Design Specialties Carolina Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with 4 Sided 1 1/2" Wide Frame (no draft).
High End Hand Crafted Minimalist Doors
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel. Very high end, and very minimal. You will not find doors like these from other manufacturers.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing Minimal-1 Fireplace Cabinet Glass Door in Flat Black. This door has an angle iron on top and bottom to hold the door hardware. There is no frame on the sides.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing EDGE-1 Fireplace Cabinet Glass Door in Flat Black. This door has an angle iron frame on all sides where just the front edge of the iron shows around the door and the back side is behind the glass creating the illusion of a super narrow frame.

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.
