Screens and Doors for Bowed Rock Fireplace with Raised Opening - Project #21179

Customer Comments: I would like a bowed screen (preferably) rather than a straight across one which I have now. I would also like a PULLEY CHAIN on one side (similar to curtains) rather than 2 pulls - one on each side; dimensions approx: 36" x 27" with approx. 2.5" of "bow"

Our Comments: Below are a couple examples showing a top and bottom bar, bowed to fit your fireplace with mesh curtains and side pulls. The bottom bar is recommended to prevent ashes and logs from rolling out of the fireplace. This is particularly important for fireplaces raised in the wall like yours. I also included a glass door in case you were not aware that option exists.

Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 27" H w/~2.5" Bow

Bowed Glass Doors

Glass Doors can be made to fit bowed fireplaces. Instead of bending the glass (which is very expensive), they use several smaller glass panes to create the curve. These must be burned with the glass doors open, but you can close the glass as the fire starts to die down and keep the heat in and block cold air from coming into the home over night. Glass doors can be made with mesh curtins or gate mesh backup doors for spark protection when the doors are open.

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.
