Hearth Bench Fenders for Craftsman Style Fireplace - Project #21220

Customer Comments: Hello. We live in a Craftsman home in Pasadena CA. I see you're also in SoCal. We spent a great deal of money to bring our fireplace back to its "Craftsman glory" and think a Craftsman fender seat would be a great way to maximize seating though as you can see, we don't have a lot of room. I don't think we can afford it at this point since we spent so much on rebuilding the fireplace but would love to see the most cost-effective quote you can come up with. Thank you!

Our Comments: The Craftsman style bench you saw on my website was a very high-end custom commissioned piece in the $20K price range. I have included that bench, along with some others in various price ranges for you to consider.

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.
