Mesh Curtains

Mesh curtains are a very common treatment for Mid-Century Modern fireplaces and are both functional and convenient to use. These high-end screens have a special "Track and Roller System" designed specifically for wide fireplaces and are available in a variety of Finishes and Trims. These will always glide smoothly and not bind over the years like less expensive versions that have a steel curtain rod. You can have them made with just the top bar or add a bottom bar to help prevent logs and ashes from rolling out of the fireplace onto the hearth.

The I-Beam track with rollers makes it possible to have a bar and mesh over 48" wide that does not sag. It also slides more easily with larger fireplaces.

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.
