Customer Comments: Hi, We are interested in getting a mock-up and pricing for your screens. Please let me know what the next steps are. I am attaching a photo with measurements. We are interested in the following screen: 1P10M- Stainless steel painted black. I am interested in the below option as well as one with a handle at the top. Thanks.
Our Comments: There are two stainless steel screens for outdoor fireplaces presented below. The first is more expensive because it uses high grade 316 marine grade stainless steel for the frame with 316 stainless wire mesh. 316 Stainless is the best material for outdoors, particularly near the ocean in salt air. The second uses 304 stainless for the frame and requires perforated mesh for any size over 40" tall. 304 stainless is good for outdoors, but does not do as well in salt air. Perforated mesh is more rigid, but it blocks more heat and is harder to see through (see examples of the mesh options below the mockups).
Sizing and Handles: Applications like this where there is a ledge overhanging the top of the opening require the screen to fit under the ledge. We recommend making the screen 1" wider on each side and 1/2" shorter at the top. We do not recommend top handles for this application as there may be the risk of scraping knuckles when moving the screen.
Fireplace Opening: 60" W x 48" H
Before:
Option #1A: Hand Crafted 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Screen with Angle Feet and Square Handles on Sides in Black. Made with Wire Mesh.
Option #1B: Hand Crafted 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Screen with Angle Feet and Square Handles on Top in Black. Made with Wire Mesh.
Option #2: Hearth Creations 304 Stainless Steel Screen with Traditional Feet and Square Handles inBlack. Made with Perforated Mesh.
Wire Mesh: Easier to see through. Allows More Heat. 316 marine grade wire mesh is rigid enough for larger size screens.
Perforated Mesh: Required by some brands for larger screens over 40" tall. Very rigid and durable, but not as easy to see through and blocks more heat.
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.
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.

 Photo #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.

 Photo #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
