Custom Screens and Doors for Small Outdoor Rock Fireplace Raised in the Wall - Project #20700

Customer Comments: Dimensions are 42" high at the top, fireplace floor is 19.5" from the ground, 29" wide. I don't know how to affix doors or a screen to the inside since it's tile.

Our Comments: Because the stones are irregular, glass doors or mesh doors with frames will need to fit inside the stones and the gaps will need to be filled with mortar to create a finished look. Most of my customers are able to do it themselves and I can walk you through the process. The curtain screens do not require this. I have created mockups of several options, all made from materials designed for outdoor applications. Glass doors are great for outdoor fireplaces because they allow you to have a fire when it is windy without having smoke and ashes blowing around. If you choose glass doors, ceramic glass is the best choice since it can handle higher temperatures and more thermal shock (rapid temperature variations).

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 rapid thermal shock with 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: 29" W x 22 1/2" H

Mesh Curtains

For outdoor fireplace, the header bar and mesh curtains are made from stainless steel with a powder coat finish on the header bar. The bottom bar is recommended for fireplaces raised off the floor to help prevent logs and ashes from rolling out of the fireplace.

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.
