Free Standing Screens for Large Stone Fireplace - Project #20512

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I am looking for options to have someone build me a custom 3 panel folding fireplace screen (I think) for a large wood burning fireplace in our new construction home. The firebox opening measures 50-51" wide and 38" high. There is a raised hearth with limestone cap. Please let me know if you could come up with a design or suggestions to build a custom one and provide pricing please. If there are options for a brass/bronze over black I would explore that too. We have a lot of brass accents in our home including lighting fixtures, door handles, etc. Thanks.

Our Comments: Here are some options to consider including single panel screens, folding screens and a unique bowed curtain screen that is my own exclusive design. The bowed curtain screen is great for large fireplaces as it stands on its own and you do not have to pick it up and set it on the floor every time you tend the fire.

Fireplace Opening: 50" to 51" W x 38" 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.

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.

Ceramic

Tempered Clear

Tempered Gray
