Brass or Gold Screens for Large Modern Fireplace - Project #20880

Customer Comments: Would Like a very simple screen with “brass looking” finish and black screening. 53” wide 41” high

Our Comments: Here is a variety of screens that can be made to fit your fireplace in brass or gold tones. Free standing screens this large are almost always accompanied by andirons, so I have chosen a few of the Closeout Special* andirons to finish the look.

Closeout Specials: These items were purchased from Stone Manufacturing just before they went out of business and are being sold at or below half price while supplies last.

Fireplace Opening: 53" W x 41" H

Perforated Mesh vs Wire Mesh

Wire mesh is most commonly used because it is easy to see through and does not blocks less heat. Perforated mesh is very rigid and sturdy, but it is a bit harder to see through and tends to block more heat. I only recommend perforated mesh for larger fireplace screens that would otherwise require horizontal support bars when made with wire mesh. Horizontal support bars tend to change the look of a screen and obstruct the view of the fire, so they may be less desireable than perforated mesh.

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.
