Customer Comments: Greetings, We are looking at installing a custom sized screen. Please see pics attached and provide guidance on best approach. Thank you
Our Comments: For a large fireplace like yours that is over 100 years old, we recommend using mesh curtains with an I-Beam Track Roller system. Here are some examples:
Fireplace Opening: 72" W x 62" H
Before:
The maximum height for the mesh panels is 60". In order to make a screen this tall, we can increase the width of the header bar to at least 5" so the mesh panels can be used. We can also add a 2" wide bottom bar with a Pet Deterrent Channel to help keep animals out of the fireplace and logs from rolling out onto the hearth.

Final Choice #B: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 4" Wide Wrought Iron Bar and Mesh in Natural Iron Flat Black with Bottom Bar.

Option #3: Stone Manufacturing C92 7" Wide Scalloped Bar and Mesh in Flat Black with Matching F92 2" Bottom Bar.

Option #5: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 5" Wide Wrought Iron Bar and Mesh with Medieval Hammered Surface in Flat Black with Matching F92 2" Bottom Bar.
I-Beam: Stone Manufacturing I-Beam Track and Roller System.
The Pet Deterrent Channel illustrated above helps prevent pets and small children from pushing the mesh inward and getting into the fireplace. This can be added to the F92 bottom bar, which also prevents logs from rolling out into the fireplace. When installing a bar and mesh, it is always a great idea to add the matching F92 bottom bar with the Pet Deterrent Channel.

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.
