Arched Fireplace Screens for White brick Fireplace. Project #11633

Customer Comments: Looking for a quote on custom fireplace screens. Would like a metal screen with or without doors that would sit just outside the fireplace opening. The brick is painted, original color underneath is red brick. It's semi opaque whitish grey. We are planning to build a live edge mantle this year that will most likely be a dark natural wood color. Biggest thing is we have a kitten that needs to be kept out of the fireplace (for obvious reasons), but we still would like to see the fire and for the heat to escape through the screen and warm the room. Examples of screens we like are folding style, but we can consider a door style option.

Our Comments: It has been our experience over the years that 3 fold screens are not the best prevention for keeping cats out of the fireplace. They have been known to jump over them to get into the fireplace. We have presented several other designs that we believe will have a better chance of keeping your cat out of the fireplace including single panel screens, free standing screen doors and attached screen doors.

Fireplace Opening: 47" W x 29" H (center) x 23" H (sides)

Attached Screen Doors

Doors that are attached to the fireplace will provide 100% prevention from your cat getting into the fireplace. They also can be made with "fake" outer doors and a single inner mesh door. This allows you to have a decorative pattern on the outer door for when the fire is off. When the fire is on, you can open the outer doors and leave the inner mesh door closed for an unobstructed view of the fire. The outer doors can also have glass.
