Customer Comments: The FP opening is 34" wide at the bottom, the sides are 24" and the top of the arch is 29". The arch is made of iron. Looking for a frame with hinged "screen" doors. It is an outside fireplace.
Our Comments: Here are some examples of outdoor fireplace screen doors made from materials designed to handle the elements. We have chosen stainless steel and zinc coated wrought iron for these applications. Stainless steel is the least expensive and is quite durable but can only be made in very basic styles. Zinc coated wrought iron is very expensive because it is hand crafted by a skilled blacksmith, but the details are quite attractive.
Fireplace Opening: 34" W x 29" H (center) x 24" H (sides)
Before:
Option #1: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Outdoor Free Standing Arched Screen Door in Matte Black. This screen has a 1 1/2" wide frame with no way to attach it to the fireplace, so it will be someone unstable when being open and closed. This is the least expensive option.
Option #2: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Outdoor Free Standing Arched Screen with Doors in Natural Iron. Using a 2 1/2" wide frame allows the screen to be attached to the fireplace using plumbers tape, making it more stable. Shown with Custom Wrought Iron Plain Grate.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing DF2M Zinc Coated Traditional Wrought Iron Free Standing Arched Screen Door with 2 1/2" Wide Frame. This screen can be attached to the fireplace with special rear mounting brackets that allow for easy removal. Shown with Custom Wrought Iron Scroll Grate and WI-T1 Granada Fireplace Tools.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing DF2M Zinc Coated Contemporary Wrought Iron Free Standing Arched Screen Door with 2 1/2" Wide Frame. This screen can be attached to the fireplace with special rear mounting brackets that allow for easy removal. Shown with Custom Wrought Iron Plain Grate and WI-T12 Giacometti Fireplace Tools.
These doors are made to inside the fireplace opening and are attached, so they are completely stable. Some of the stones will need to be chiseled for a proper fit. The gaps between the frame and the stones would be filled with mortar after the door is installed. Any of the above doors can be made this way.
Option #5: Hearth Creations Stainless Steel Arched Outdoor Fireplace Screen Door in Matte Black.
Option #6: Stone Manufacturing DF2M Zinc Coated Contemporary Wrought Iron Inside Fit Arched Screen Door. Shown with Custom Wrought Iron Plain Grate and WI-T1 Granada Fireplace Tools.
Shown above are the special rear mounting brackets that can be used on the wrought iron screens in Options #3 and #4.
