Screens and Doors for Stacked Stone Fireplace Raised in the Wall - Project #20033

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
