Free Standing Screen Doors for Large Brick Fireplace - Project #20305

Customer Comments: Looking for a 50x32 flat screen with feet, and double doors. Matte black finish.

Our Comments: A free standing screen door this large will be somewhat unstable when you open the doors. There are several ways to get around this. 1) make it with fixed end panels to keep the doors size down, 2) attach it to the fireplace using lintel clamps, , 3) use a screen door without feet that is attched. We have created mockups depicting each of these options.

Fireplace Opening: 50" W x 30" H

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.
