Custom Screens for Multi-Sided Fireplace - Project #20510

Customer Comments: Hi there - we have a three-sided fireplace that sits between our kitchen and family room. Ideally looking for a free-standing screen that wraps, modern and glass, minimalist hardware. Like the look of something like this (See example below). We'd like to keep the solution freestanding vs attached.

Our Comments: After our subsequent communication, I have created several mockups to show possibilities to explore. The glass doors and mesh curtains must be attached.

Glass Doors

Glass must be attached to the fireplace. They can be attached to the lintel at the top without having to drill into the tile at the bottom, although also attaching the bottom would be best.

Mesh Curtains

Mesh curtains may be the least expensive option. The bar that holds the mesh must be attached to the lintel and can be made in a variety of finishes. Popular finishes that might work in your application are polished brass, brushed nickel or black. A more expensive free standing version is also available that does not require attachment.

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.
