Customer Comments: Hello! We have a stone fireplace with a smaller opening that we'd like to create a black screen for since doors don't seem to be an option due to the smaller opening and uneven surface of the stone on the exterior. We've been unable to find a screen small enough to fit. The opening measures 34" wide by 29" high, with the height increasing a little about an inch or two into the fireplace. The width decreases the further in that the fireplace goes, since it's angled.
Our Comments: We have included mockups of the various types of screens that can be made for your fireplace. Actually, glass doors are the most common choice for a stacked stone fireplace raised in the wall. We make the frame about 1/4" smaller in width than the smallest width and height. Once installed, you fill the gaps with mortar and it looks great. Almost all of the glass doors you see on our site can be made to fit.
Fireplace Opening: 34" W x 29" H
Before:
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
Option #1: Design Specialties Stiletto Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Iron Age 2 Fireplace Glass Door with Hammered Texture in Matte Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing Hybrid-2 Bifold Glass Door with Clear Glass and Mesh Curtains. This door has no frame on the sides, so it does not require mortar.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Single Panel Fireplace Screen with Angle Feet and Square Handles in Matte Black. Shown fitting inside the fireplace. It appears that the fireplace drops down an inch or two at the bottom, so the screen would need to be made a little short at the top so you can easily get it in and out.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing 1P30M Solid Panel Fireplace Screen with Angled Feet and Square Handles in Flat Black. Shown with special "Ledge" application that allows the screen to sit right at the opening.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing C92 Bar and Mesh Curtain Screen with Matching F92 Bottom Bar.

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.
