Customer Comments: Good evening, I'm looking to receive a quote for a custom fireplace screen. The dimensions of the fireplace opening are 42" high and 53" wide. I'd like a black screen and would like to see what you'd recommend for either a single panel or three panel design. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
Our Comments: Here are some options to consider. We included andirons and tools with some of the mockups as they are typically used with a Tudor style mantel like yours.
Fireplace Opening: 53" W x 42" H
NOTE: A template made to the shape of the opening will be required to make these screens. We suggest overlapping the template 1/2" on the top and each side.
NOTE: These screens would be made to fold out just past the inner opening with a 40" center and 12" side panels. The height can be made slightly lower than the center height of the fireplace. Somewhere between 38" to 41" tall is recommended.
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.
