Replacement Screens for 128 Year Old Fireplace - Project #11571

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 w/Wire Mesh

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.

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.
