Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #20750

Customer Comments: Need a large firescreen with spark guard for an opening that measures 6'+ wide by 4'+ high.Black finish. Having a door would be ideal.

Our Comments: Your fireplace poses some unique challenges and requires something very special. The first is an affordable option that must be moved whenever tending the fire. The second two are entirely new disigns I have created just for your application that are more in line with what you have requested. They are both stationary screens that allow you to access the fireplace without having to move them.

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: 72" W x 48" H

Boston Spark Guard

The Boston Spark Guard is a centuries old screen design often used for larger colonial fireplaces. It is somewhat light-weight, but must be moved out of the way when tending the fire.

Stiletto

Option #1: Traditional Boston Spark Guard in Black with Brass Handles.

High End Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Designs

The mockups below are concepts I have created specifically for your fireplace. Both of these screens are stationary and do not need to be moved to tend the fire. The first option can stand on it's own, but I recommend bolding it down to the hearth at the bottom. The second would need to be bolted to the hearth and inside the fireplace. Special mounting brackets will be made to accomplish this. If you look closely, you can see I have added L-Brackets on the sides inside the fireplace.

Option #2: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Fireplace Bowed Spark Guard with Wire Mesh on the Top and Sides and Mesh Curtains in the Middle. Shown in Burnished Black with Matte Brass Rivets.

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.
