Customer Comments: We need a cover for this fireplace that will protect it from our children. It is 25"x40". We are not planning to use the fireplace so the cover can be more opaque and decorative. This is a house we haven't moved in to yet so the furniture is from the staging.
Our Comments: The best types of screens to protect children are single panel screens, attached screen doors or glass doors. Here are some examples.
Fireplace Opening: 40" W x 25" H

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.

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.

Option #: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Craftsman Style Mesh Door in Distressed Buff Pewter.
Option #: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Cabinet Glass Door with Scroll Pattern in Distressed Medium Bronze with Gray Glass.
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.
