Customer Comments: The mesh hanging from the track rails is bent and needs replaced. However during the heat of the summer there is a smoke smell that permeates the living room so maybe custom made doors would be an alternative — if they are not too costly. Measurements: 25.5" from top to bottom; 48" wide; corner is a little weird: 13" wide at the bottom and 12.5" at the top.
Our Comments: Below are examples of how a new bar and mesh mechanism will look. This new system uses a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" angle iron with a curtain rod hidden inside. You can also have a matching bottom bar that will help prevent ashes and sparks from getting past the screen at the bottom.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W (Front) 12 1/2-13" W (Side) x 25 1/2" H
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing C92 Surface Mount Corner Fireplace Mesh Curtains in Black.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing C92 Surface Mount Corner Fireplace Mesh Curtains in Black with Matching F92 Bottom Bar.
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.
