Custom Fireplace Screens and Doors for Large Masonry Fireplace - Project #20690

Customer Comments: Hi, We have a 48.5 w by 34.25 h opening. We would like a spark guard that is very simple, not heavy iron.

Our Comments: Here are some excellent screens that can be custom made to fit your fireplace. The free standing screen doors and glass doors are the most convenient since they do not have to be moved aside every time you tend the fire. The glass doors are the ultimate treatment since you can close the doors when you are done with the fire to keep the warm air in the house. Plus, they have screen doors behind the glass for spark protection when you wish to burn fires with the doors open and the option of ceramic glass to burn fires with the doors closed, or in times when you must leave the home in an emergency.

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 temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 48 1/2" W x 34 1/4" H

Free Standing Screen Door

Free standing screen doors are more convenient than typical free standing screens because they do not need to be set aside every timey you tend the fire. You simply open the doors. With a fireplace this size, the screen does need to be attached to the firepace to prevent it from falling over. The screen includes clamps for attaching it to the top inside without having to drill.

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.
