Customer Comments: Looking for single panel glass screen.
Our Comments: We are showing several free standing glass screens below. However, we do not recommend free standing glass screens when there are small children in the home as they are easy to knock over and can potentially cause harm. For this reason, we are presenting other options for your consideration that are much safer around kids. All of the options are very high end solid brass products hand crafted by skilled artisans at Stone Manufacturing and finished to perfection.
Special Note: We recommend cutting the rear shanks off the andirons with a hack saw so they can be positioned properly in the fireplace. This will be necessary if you choose any of the glass door options.
Fireplace Opening: 65" W x 50 1/2" H
After receiving the dimensions, the size of the fireplace is quite larger than anticipated and will change the way most of the mockups on this page are shown. Openings over 48" W and 48" tall require additional cross members for the mesh. They also require 6" long feet instead of the standard 3" feet. Below are revisions for the screen you preferred showing how it must be made to accommodate the larger size showing ways of providing the support.
Please provide the additional measurements below so we can determine exactly how to make the screen and where to place the supports.
H1 - eight from floor to bottom of opening:
H2 - Height of actual opening:
W1 - Width between marble columns:
W2 - Width of actual opening:
The 3 options below have much heavier feet and thicker glass than normal so they are more difficult to knock over. However, we still do not feel they are safe around toddlers. Also, keep in mind that free standing glass screens must stand at least 8" away from the fireplace when the gas us burning, otherwise they can shatter from heat.
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.
