Making A Template

DF2G

Fig. 1: Template illustration

It appears that the legs of your mantel legs come right up to the fireplace opening. Same at the top of the arch, so I suggest making a template this way:

Template Instructions:

Overall Measurements (within 1/16”) – Email me those measurements

1: Measure the overall width of the mantel between the legs in the middle
2: Measure the overall width between the mantel feet at the bottom
3: Measure the overall height of the mantel from the floor to the bottom at the middle of the arch

Top Arch Template:

1: Cut a piece of cardboard exactly 15” tall to the exact width of the fireplace opening (40”).
2: Tape it up inside the opening from the back side so it is flush up to the mantel.
3: Trace the mantel with a pencil making sure the line is visible on the cardboard.
4: Measure the height from the floor to the bottom of the cardboard on the left, middle and right side
If the overall height of the mantel is 35”, the height you measure should measure 20”

Leg Templates:

1: Cut 2 pieces of cardboard into squares roughly 12 x 12
2: Make sure the bottom and sides are a perfect right angle
3: Tape the squares to the back side of the legs as shown
4: Hold the square in place as you trace the shape of the foot.

Picture:

1: Take a picture with the 3 template pieces still taped to the fireplace and a tape measure showing the overall height just like shown in the example below.

Glass Door Mesh Options

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.
