Customer Comments: Hello! We would like to hear your ideas for updating this 138 year old fireplace screen! We are in the process of painting, so the walls will be a dark charcoal color if that makes any difference. New furniture as well. Thank you.
Our Comments: Here are some great ideas for fireplace screens that fit your Traditional/Victorian style fireplace room. These screens are highly customizable and can be made using most of the finishes and trims shown lower on the page. We attempted to turn the wall a dark charcoal color to help visualize the screens.

Glass Doors from Stone Manufacturing can be made with wire mesh in front of the glass, creating the illusion that it is a mesh door. Using a special Graylite 14 dark tinted glass with wire mesh in front of it, drastically reduces the reflection of the glass making it almost disappear. This gives you the energy saving and safety benefits of glass doors, while keeping with the period style.
Option #9: Stone Manufacturing DF1G Solid Brass Glass Door with Bottom Flange in Light Bronze Patina. Special Graylite 14 Dark Gray Glass with Wire Mesh in Front of The Glass and Mesh Curtains Behind the Glass. Shown with matching SPT-64 Special Flame Handle Tools.
Option #10: Stone Manufacturing DF1G-MCM Solid Brass Glass Door with Mini Crown Molding Trim in Weathered Brass with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains Behind the Glass. Center frames are required if you wish to add mesh in front of the glass on this door. Shown with Matching T1 Revere Fireplace Tools.
Option #11: Stone Manufacturing DF1G-54 Solid Brass Glass Door with 7/8 Reed Ribbon 3-Sided Trim in Oil Rubbed Bronze with Clear Glass and Pseudo Clearview Gate Mesh Backup Doors in Flat Black. Shown with Concealed Vent Draft Assembly.
Option #12: Stone Manufacturing DF1G-54 Solid Brass Glass Door with 7/8 Reed Ribbon 3-Sided Trim in Statuary Bronze with Clear Glass and Pseudo Clearview Gate Mesh Backup Doors in Flat Black. Shown without draft assembly.
These are baked enamel finishes, so they are all heat resistant. These are all Group 1 finishes, which are same price group as flat black.

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.
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.
