Customer Comments: Solid brass screen to fit this 32.5"w x 29"h opening. Considering doors, but they may look too small for this size opening. Brushed brass finish elsewhere in the house (See example of door knob).
Our Comments: Solid brass is relatively affordable for custom single panel screens, but can get quite expensive for glass doors. For the glass doors, I also included aluminum and plated brass as less expensive alternatives.
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.
Fireplace Opening: 32 1/2" W x 29" H
These fireplace screens are custom made from solid brass by Stone Manufacturing, the only company in the USA currently making solid brass fireplace screens. Single panel screens are most often accompained by andirons, so I included a mockup showing that option.
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing 1P10M Traditional Solid Brass Single Panel Fireplace Screen with Queen Anne Feet and Handles in Antique Brass.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing 1P10M Traditional Solid Brass Single Panel Fireplace Screen with #52 Half Oval Casting Trim and Queen Anne Feet and Handles in Olde English Brass. Shown with Matching Half Price Closeout Special AR-AN15 Bonaparte Solid Brass Andirons. Olde English is a rich, slightly lighter toned antique finish.
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is the most affordable.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Profile-3 Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Anodized Vintage Brass with Tempered Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
These doors are custom made from steel that is brass plated and then antiqued. The resulting finish is very much like your door knob, but not as long lasting as real solid brass.
Option #4: PW Revelation Plated Steel Bifold Fireplace Door in Antique Brass with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
These doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans at Stone Manufacturing from Solid Brass. This is the only company in the USA that custom makes fireplace glass doors from solid brass. These are very high end with a beautiful antique brass finish and can be made with cabinet or bifold doors. Fires should be burned with the doors open.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing CD-2 Solid Brass Bifold Fireplace Door in Antique Brass with Tempered Glass (Only) and Mesh Curtains.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing CD-1-88 Solid Brass Bifold Fireplace Door with #88 Prince of Wales Door Trim in Antique Brass with Tempered Glass (Only) and Mesh Curtains.
These rare discontinued items were acquired from Stone Manufacturing by Fireplace Treatments when they closed down their Gardena manufacturing facility. They are being sold at half price while supplies last. Most of these items have only 1 or 2 left, so you can be one of the last people in the USA to own one of these rare gems.
Closeout Special AR-AN15 Bonaparte Antique Reproduction Solid Brass Andirons | 23H | Half Price - While Supplies Last | Olde English 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.
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.
