Mesh Curtains for Stacked Stone Fireplace - Project #10658

Customer Comments: I am looking for fireplace curtain with top bar in satin nickel or brushed nickel. I do not want doors. I do not want the finish to be shiny. On your web site it looks like steel metallic finish is what I’m looking for. I don’t want it to have a gold cast but more gray to match the stone. I can’t tell exactly which of your finishes is the less shiny, satin or brushed or even pewter. On the web site they all look so similar. My husband discussed the curtain option with you but I am now trying to determine which finish we want. Black curtain. The opening is 34x29. It would be an inside mount. Thanks for your assistance.

Our Comments: I believe Pewter would be your best choice. It is a dull silver finish. Satin Nickel, although not a polished finish, is a brushed finish with more sheen. We have created mockups showing the 4 different ways an attached sliding mesh curtain can be made.

Sliding Mesh Curtain Options

There are 4 ways to do sliding mesh curtains. Header bar, header bar and fender, 3-sided frame and 4-sided frame. Those that have a bar across the bottom prevent logs from rolling out as the mesh will hit the bottom bar instead of the mesh just pushing open.

Option #: C92 & F92 Bar and Mesh with Matching Fender in Pewter with Square Pulls and Black Mesh.

Frame Screen

Option #: CFR85-3-SIDED 3-Sided Attached Frame Screen in Pewter with Square Pulls and Black Mesh. This would need to be an outside mount/overlap fit, so there would be some spaces between the irregular stones and the frame.

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.
