Customer Comments: Hi, I would like to get a quote on a screen for this fireplace. The opening is: 28" high by 45" wide. The overall width of the hearth is 78". I like your screen door with side panels style with a textured black finish.
Our Comments: Because the gas line is on the outside of the fireplace, we will need to add a 2" or 3" return to the back side of the screen with a notch to fit over the gas line. Each of the examples below can be made this way. We highly recommend screen doors that are attached to the fireplace so there are no issues with stability seeing as the hearth and fireplace face are somewhat irregular.
Fireplace Opening: 45" W x 28" H
Before:
This shows how we would add a return on the back side of any of the screens to accommodate the gas line.
Option #1: Design Specialties Carolina Free Standing Screen Door with 2" Wide Frame and Fixed Side Panels in Textured Black. This screen will be less stable than other options.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Free Standing Screen Door in Textured Black. This screen can be made with clamps that the top of the frame to the lintel for added stability.
These doors are attached using "L" brackets that are mounted to the firebrick inside the fireplace. Because they are fixed securely, there are no issues with stability.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Attached Screen Door with Hammered Texture in Matte Black.
Option #4: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Screen Door in Textured Black.
These doors are hand crafted by Artisans at Stone Manufacturing, known as the elite fireplace accessory manufacturer in the USA. Meticulously crafted from the highest quality components on the market. The wrought iron door is made by a highly skilled blacksmith and has a unique rustic texture that develops during the forging process. Their "Pseudo" bifold doors are unique in the industry minimizing the obstruction of the fire with the added convenience of bifold doors that take up half the space when they are open. These doors are quite expensive, but are available as cabinet doors at a slightly lesser price.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing DF1M Flat Black Mesh Door with "Pseudo" Bifold Doors. These are more convenient because they fold in half. Shown with custom WI-AN18 Wrought Iron Ring Andirons.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1M Wrought Iron Mesh Door with "Pseudo" Bifold Doors in Flat Black with Forged Texture. These are more convenient because they fold in half. Shown with custom WI-AN18 Wrought Iron Ring Andirons.

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.
