Mesh Doors for 3-Sided Peninsula Fireplace - Project #21315

Customer Comments: I have a 3 sided fireplace. I am looking for a screen. I want to be able to access the fireplace from the living room that is to tbe left of photo 1. The other 2 sides can be fixed. The living room side can be doors or removable. The height of the fireplace is 26 inches.

Our Comments: Below are my recommendations for treating this fireplace with mesh doors. These doors have a subframe that reqires at least 1" clearance around the post. Based on this limitation, I would have the door made to fit under the top ledge just inside the edge where it can wrap around the lintel and posts with the bottom sitting on the ledge. There would be functional cabinet doors on the two long sides and a single fixed mesh pane on the short side.

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.
