Customer Comments: Here are the images of my fireplace. I would like a freestanding fire screen (preferably antique brass) that fits into the fireplace "nook." The opening (from the floor) is 34 1/2" wide x 44 3/4" tall x 4 1/2 " deep. ( Our decor is eclectic / transitional.)
I was thinking, ideally, of a screen that measures:
34" wide x 30" tall x 4- 4 1/2" deep
Our Comments: We can make the screen to your size specifications and have shown how that might look. We have included some alternatives for you to consider as well.
Fireplace Opening: 34 1/2" W x 44 3/4" H
These screens are made from solid steel with powder coat finishes that are reasonbly priced.

Option #4: Stone Manufacturing 1P10M Solid Brass Single Panel Screen Made in Weathered Brass with Matching Ledge. This allows the screen to be made to fit the opening and stand on it's own.
This type of screen works great for fireplaces that are raised in the wall like this. The bottom bar can be made with a pet deterrent channel that helps prevent animals from getting into the fireplace.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing C92 Bar and Mesh with Matching F92 Bottom Bar in Weathtered Brass.
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.
