Customer Comments: Hi, Please see attached. We would like a screen to cover the entire black frame around our existing fireplace. The bottom of the metal was bent on installation so we would like to cover it up. I've included a pic of the screen we'd like but are open to suggestions. We would like to attach this to the existing frame. The opening (from rock to rock) is 47 3/4 inches wide by 37 1/2 inches tall. We would like to stay with black matte metal with screen and doors. Thanks
Our Comments: We created a mockup of the screen requested along with some other ideas we think you may like. We can make each of the screens with strong rare earth magnets to attach to your fireplace, so there is no installation.
Fireplace Opening: 47 3/4" W x 37 1/2" H (overall black metal)

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.
