Screens for Small Victorian Fireplace - Project #11605

Customer Comments: Hi, I have an irregularly shaped fireplace that needs a protective screen. As you can see in the attached photos, there are two openings (one roughly 16" wide by 27" high covering the opening of the fireplace and the other 19.5" wide by 28.5" high covering the area inside of the surrounding brass poles) that could be covered, ideally with a screen that allows easy access to the inside. Can you suggest some options?

Our Comments: We recommend either a single panel free standing screen, an attached screen door or glass door. Here are some examples.

Fireplace Opening: 16" W x 27" H

Attached Doors

We can make a single wire mesh door or glass door with wire mesh doors behind the glass. These are attached to the fireplace using long "L" brackets that are attached to the bricks inside behind the metal front.

Sliding Mesh Curtains

This mesh curtain screen has a frame that is held in place with "L" brackets that are attached to the firebrick inside the fireplace. There is a Pet Deterrent Channel that prevents the mesh from being pushed in by your cats and also prevents the mesh from being pushed out if a log rolls off the grate.
