Screens and Doors for Large Traditional Fireplace - Project #20410

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, we are wanting a screen curtin or doors.

Our Comments: Here are some great looking screens and doors that can be made to fit your fireplace in a variety of materials and price ranges.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, we highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 49" W x 37" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

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.

Sliding Mesh Curtains

The bar with mesh curtains is an old staple for traditional fireplaces and is convenient for larger openings. We recommend using a track and roller system for larger fireplaces since the normal curtain rods tend to sag over the years. A matching bottom bar is also recommended to keep logs and ashes from getting onto the hearth. We can also add a Pet Deterrent Channel to the bottom bar to help prevent pets and small children from getting into the fireplace.

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.
