Screens and Doors for Corner L-Shaped Fireplace Remodel with Black Painted Sandston Bricks - Project #20899

Customer Comments: We are brining the original fireplace back to life. It was tiled over and the pellet stove put in that you see in the photo. We have a ways to go, repairing the sandstone brick and removing the glue. But wanted to get the screen ordered so we aren’t waiting on it. I provided the living room but we are remodeling the living room after the fireplace is done. There will be wood floors. Would love to discuss and talk about design .

Our Comments: Here are several treatments to consider including mesh curtains and glass doors. I will need pictures with the stove removed in order to create a proper measuring diagram before we can order the treatment of your choice.

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.

Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.

Mesh Curtains

The high-end mesh curtains have a special "Track and Roller System" that always glides smoothly and does not bind over the years like typical screens that have a steel curtain rod. Because the post is in the way, there will be two separate header bars with their own mesh.

Option #1: High-End Corner Fireplace Sliding Mesh Curtains with Track and Roller System with Top and Bottom Bar in Black.

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

Modern-1

Option #2: Hearth Creations Modern-1 Sleek Steel Fireplace Door with No Visible Handles in Black with Stainless Steel or Satin Nickel Overlay Doors and Clear Tempered Glass.

High End Hand Forged Wrought Iron Doors

Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron with heavy duty gasketed doors for a tighter seal and maximum draft reduction. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. The forging process produces a unique texture that you cannot get with laser cut steel and there are added hammered textures that can be for a more rustic applications. These doors are often used for extremely large fireplaces because of their heavy duty solid frame and hinges. They are commonly ordered with ceramic glass for buring hot fires with the doors closed.

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.
