Custom Screens for Large Fireplace 60 x 48 - Project #20777

Customer Comments: Hello, I need a fireplace screen that would cover the 60 inch height, 48 inch width fireplace. I'm looking for a simple black framed screen that would protect any sparks from escaping.

Our Comments: I have included a variety of screens and doors that can be made for large fireplaces like yours. Free standing screens look great, but are bulky and inconvenient as they must be set aside every time you tend the fire. You may wish to consider some of the more convenient alternatives including glass doors that can be closed as the fire dies out to keep the heat in the house during the cold nights.

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" W x 48" 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.
