Customer Comments: Hello! Looking to order a custom screen for our giant fireplace. Don't mind the mess, it's Christmas. After seeing it pop embers on my rug I realized we really need a screen. Measurement as follows: 77" wide and 60" high to the bar in the picture. Looking for a screen or mesh not sure which makes sense. Mainly to protect from embers. Thank you so much!
Our Comments: Here are some ideas to get you started. For larger fireplaces, the screen does not necessarily need to cover the entire opening, although there is always a slight chance sparks can bounce off the side walls and escape around the screen if it does not completely cover the fireplace. Attached screen doors are the most convenient and will provide the best spark protection. Free standing screens made to fully cover the fireplace opening are available, but they are very heavy and inconvenient when tending the fire.
Fireplace Opening: 77" W x 60" H
Before:
Mesh curtains do not provide 100% spark protection since the gaps in the curtain mesh are wider than the wire mesh screens further down the page. There is a 1 3/4" wide bar that holds the curtain rod, very similar to the bar you already have in place, so that bar may need to be replaced. We will need to see some pictures looking up at the top of the opening from inside the fireplace so we can determine if a bar and mesh can be installed.
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing C92 Bar and Mesh. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.
Single Panel and Bowed screens are a great alternative for large fireplaces. In this case, the screen can be made a little smaller than the opening to provide spark protection. They can also be made the full size of the fireplace but will require vertical and horizontal support bars if made that large. Larger sizes become very heavy and inconvenient to lift when tending the fire.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing WI-1P30M Wrought Iron Single Panel Fireplace Screen. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing WI-1P30M Bowed Wrought Iron Fireplace Screen. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Hammered Steel Fireplace Screen. Shown with Matching Blacksmith Tools and Wood Holder and Minuteman AND-07 Andirons.
Folding screens are an excellent option and a little easier to manipulate than a single panel screen since they can be folded. However, they are much heavier due to the additional material used to frame each panel. Folding screens can also be made with operable doors, which are quite convenient.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing WI-3P30M Wrought Iron 3-Fold Fireplace Screen. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.
Screen doors are the most convenient because you do not have to move them out of the way to tend the fire, you simply open and close them.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1M Wrought Iron Bifolding Screen Door. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1M Wrought Iron Single Screen Door with Scroll Fixed Panels. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.
Option #8: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1M Wrought Iron Single Screen Door with Diamond Star Fixed Panels. Shown with Matching WI-AN-BASKET Wrought Iron Basket Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Basket.

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.
