Customer Comments: We are near completion of our new home. We have a Rumford fireplace design.
Our Comments: Here are various types of screens that are designed for Rumford fireplaces including free standing screens, mesh doors and glass doors.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8” from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.
Fireplace Opening: 60 1/4" W x 59 3/4" H
Before:
Free standing screens provide an excellent view of the fire, but are less convenient than attached doors as they must be set aside whenver you are tending the fire.
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing WI-1P30M Wrought Iron Single Panel Fireplace Screen in Natural Iron. Can also be made in flat black steel.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing WI-SG Wrought Iron Spark Guard in Natural Iron.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing NF-1 Tall Nursery Fender in Flat Black.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing C92 Mesh Curtain with F92 Bottom Bar in Flat Black. Uses Exclusive I-Beam Track and Roller System for Smooth Non-Sagging Operation on Large Fireplaces.
Hand crafted doors take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship tasteful details. These are very convenient and functional as you simply open and close them when tending the fire. Glass doors can be closed when the fire is dying out to prevent heat loss. Ceramic glass doors can be burned open or closed.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Fireplace Mesh Doors in Burnished Black.
Option #6: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Glass Doors in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing DF1M Hand Forged Contemporary Wrought Iron Mesh Doors in Natural Iron.

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.
