Customer Comments: Hi! This is a seasonal 1930s cabin with a rustic fireplace with a smallish arched opening. I'm looking for a simple standing steel screen to sit under/in front of the brick arch. Your Project 11688 is close. The width is 39" and the top of the arch is at 20.5". One tricky thing is that the hearth is 2" below the apron, so the feet can't go behind the screen. See photo. Thanks!
Our Comments: The screens will come with rear stabilizers that are necessary for the screen to stand on its own when you move it away to tend the fire. They do not perform any function when the screen is in place since the screen will lean against the fireplace.
Fireplace Opening: 39" W x 20 1/2" H (Center)
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.
