Custom Screens for L-Shaped Corner Fireplace Raise in Wall - Project #20629

Customer Comments: Good morning I am looking to replace the screen for my gas fireplace. I have a kitten who can and does get into the fireplace so I am needing something which will prevent her from doing so, such as mesh curtains which attach at the top and bottom or a solid screen. From your examples, maybe Example #11: Free Standing Corner Fireplace Screen with Solid Brass Trim and Claw Feet or Option #13: C92 Bar and Mesh with Sliding Mesh Curtains. Shown with C92 Top Bar and F92 Fender Other thoughts?

Our Comments: The solid brass screens are no longer available as well as the curtain screens with pet deterrant channels. Below are some examples of what I would recommend. Glass doors are mesh doors that are attached to the fireplace are the most common. The free standing screen may look a little odd since the opening is raised off the floor.

Fireplace Opening: 48" W (Front) x 10 1/2" W (side) x 31" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.
