Customer Comments: Hello, I am interested in purchasing a custom fireplace screen. The opening of my fireplace is 48 inches high and also 48 inches wide. I really like the look of the 3 fold black rock wrought iron screen or similar, ideally in a matte black finish. I have attached photos. I do not know what your turnaround time is, but I'm really hoping to have the screen for Christmas. Additionally, I'm not sure if you also sell fire baskets for the wood inside the fireplace? If so, the depth of our fireplace is 20 inches, and in the very back the width is 40 inches.
Our Comments: We have created several mockups of screens we recommend for fireplaces like yours including the one you liked. Because the opening is so large, you may want to consider an attached screen, or even glass doors. Large wrought iron screens can get heavy and awkward to move around each time you tend the fire. Single panel screens are easier to manipulate doors are the esiest since you just open and close them.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 48" 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.
