Custom Screens for Mid-Century Modern Rock Fireplace - Project #21471

Customer Comments: Hi Greg, I'm looking for a solution for this retro fireplace. We don't use this for wood burning but we could. Please let me know what options I might have. I attached 5 photos the last 3 are of the side, bottom and top of the firebox. Many thanks!

Our Comments: Love this room! Here are some screens that will do it justice. I also included an MCM grate that will help complete the look.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need gate mesh backup doors or mesh curtains behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. 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.

Glass Options

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 sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
