Customer Comments: Would like a screen to set inside the stone (39"w x 30 1/2"h) - maybe give a 1/2" clearance on top and sides so 38 1/2" w x 30" h. Will attach to existing frame with 4 screws - so no feet. The top black frame comes down 9" and the bottom black frame comes uo 4". I would like for the artwork on the laser-cut screen (like DXF-45) to somewhat obscure the top and bottom but be mostly open in the central part for the electric fireplace to show (being electric it's not very hot or bright).
Our Comments: Below is a mockup with my interpretation of your instructions. Rather than screwing the screen to the fireplace, I suggest using magnets. There is plenty of room for magnets to attach at the top, but we would need to provie some "L" brackets that you can screw to the fireplace on the bottom left and right sides for the magnets to attach at the bottom. Also, I would make the screen 1/4" smaller on the top and each side (1/2" smaller overall in width and 1/4" smaller in height).
Fireplace Opening: 39" W x 30 1/2" H
Recommended Size: 38 1/2" W x 30 1/4" H

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.

 Photo #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.

 Photo #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
