Screens for Half Circle Arched Fireplace - Project #11682

Customer Comments: I'm interested in a fireplace screen for this fireplace. I would like screen doors but not glass doors if possible. I think the screen should cover the inset sides for safety so the dimensions would be 49" across the bottom and 29" tall in the center. Please send me a price estimate for a simple screen and a screen with doors if possible so we can see how to proceed. Thanks.

Our Comments: Here are some examples of screens that we can have made for your fireplace. There are many other finishes to choose from, but we have chosen black and wrought iron to start with.

Fireplace Opening: Approximately 48" W x 28" H

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.

Glass Options

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.
