Customer Comments: I want to custom screen for the fire place 38" H x 48" W customers screen space
Our Comments: Below are a variety of screens from low to high-end that can be made for a large fireplace like this.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures around 450F without shattering and should be at least 8" from the flames. This is sufficient for closing the doors as the fire starts to die out to keep the heat in the home. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures around 1450F with direct flame contact. If you want the ability to burn continuous fires with the doors closed, you need ceramic glass. You can close the tempered glass doors when the fire starts to die out to keep the warm air in during the night.
Gas Log Warning: To prevent the burner and pilot mechanism from overheating causing safety issues, vented gas logs must be burned with glass doors open. The Modern-1 door is an exception to this rule as it can be made with a special Gas Log AirWash system that allows you to close the doors while burning a vented gas logs. Vent Free gas logs cannot have glass doors closed under any circumstances. Read more below.
Outdoor Fireplace Materials: Materials designed specifically for outdoor fireplaces will be stainless steel or zinc coated wrought iron. Both of these can be very expensive. Many of my customers seek a balance between price and durability. For example, aluminum holds up well outdoors, but some of the hardware and hinges will eventually rust. Some manufacturers offer an expensive outdoor option that includes stainless steel hardware to overcome this issue, while others may not. Zinc coated wrought holds up well, but the gate mesh or mesh curtains get very expensive in stainless steel and some people will choose normal steel for those components and replace them periodicallly. I will provide pricing for various options so you can find the right balance for you.

Wire mesh is most commonly used because it is easier to see through and does blocks less heat. Perforated mesh is very rigid and sturdy, but it is a bit harder to see through and tends to block more heat. I only recommend perforated mesh for larger fireplace screens that would otherwise require horizontal support bars when made with wire mesh. Horizontal support bars tend to change the look of a screen and obstruct the view of the fire, so they may be less desireable than perforated mesh.
Note: Hearth Creations outdoor fireplace screens made from 304 stainless steel are only available with perforated mesh.
