Screen and Door Ideas for Indoor Fireplace - Project #20915

Firepace #2 of 2: Fireplace #1: Outdoor | Fireplace #2: Indoor

Customer Comments: Hi I have two fireplaces that need screens. One indoor and one on a screened in porch. Here is the indoor fireplace.

Our Comments: Here are some ideas showing how to treat this fireplace with various types of fireplace screens and doors that compliment your decor. When gas logs or fire effects are installe, the damper is propped open permanently. Glass doors are the most benificial treatment because they help prevent cold air from coming down the chimney with the damper being open.

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. For indoor fireplaces, 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.

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.
