Stainless Steel Mantel and Screens for Large Modern Fireplace - Project #20322

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I would like a price on a SS mantel 83" wide(which is the width of the tile, TV is 75" Fire Box is 52.5"x32.5"), probably 3" High and 6" deep. In essence a floating shelf mantel. Also, we have a small dog and probably need to keep her out of the fireplace. Any ideas on a screen, doors or suggestions would be also appreciated. Here are some photos od our fireplace. Can you get me a price and availability please, Thanks Brad

Our Comments: Based on our conversations, I have created mockups showing the stainless steel mantel paired with glass doors and screens in a variety of materials and price ranges.

Fireplace Opening: 52 1/2" W x 32 1/2" H

Before

Before:

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

Profile-4

Option #1: Hearth Creations Profile-4 Aluminum Fireplace Glass Door in Brite Nickel (Anodized).

Medium Range Steel Doors

Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.

Elite

Option #2: PW Elite Narrow Frame Steel Glass Door in Brushed Nickel.

Stainless Steel Doors

Stainless steel is a step up from normal steel as far as longevity of the finish. These are made by the same company that makes the mantel, so they are a good match.

Stainless

Option #3: Hearth Creations Solid Stainless Steel Glass Door in Satin Stainless.

High End Hand Crafted Solid Brass

These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass or Steel, depending on the finish that is desired. Very high end, and very refined. Polished and Satin Nickel finishes done on solid brass are the finest quality and will not rust like plated steel.

Sliding Door

Option #4: Stone Manufacturing SD-MCM Ultra-High-End Solid Brass Sliding Glass Door with Mini Crown Molding Trim in Polished or Satin Nickel. The outer glass panes are fixed while the inner panes slide left and right to open and close.

Free Standing Screens

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.

No Mesh

Gate Mesh Backup Doors

Mesh Curtains

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.
