Project #10742 - Glass Doors for Fireplace
Customer Comments:
Would like to see a 3 panel screen for this fireplace standing on the hearth:
Carolina 3-panel Screen
Rustic Black Finish
Center: 36W x 44H
24 inch wings
The purpose of this design is to keep the dogs away from the fireplace because they love to lay in front of it when the fire is burning and occasional sparks get through the existing mesh curtains.
Our Comments: We have created the requested mockup along with some other ways to treat this type of fireplace that is raised in the wall.
Fireplace Opening: 36" W x 44" Tall from Hearth
Note: These mock-ups are not to scale and are meant to help you choose the model of your screen or door, not the finish. Although we may create a general representation of black, iron, bronze, gold and silver tones, you must choose your finish from our samples using the links below. Ask your project manager which samples apply to the items in your project.

Gate Mesh Doors
Gate mesh doors provide much better spark protection than sliding mesh curtains as the gaps between the mesh are mush smaller.
Option #4: DF1G-54 Solid Brass Fireplace Mesh Doors with Reed and Ribbon Casting Door Trim in Polished Brass.
Hanging Screen
This screen hangs from hooks and is great for raised in the wall fireplaces.
Option #5: Solid Brass Single Panel Fireplace Screen with Variation Handle and Hooks.
Mesh & Insulation Options
The Mesh options are behind the glass so you can burn the fire with the doors open and still have spark protection. Great for real wood or gas logs since most gas long manufacturers insist that you have a screen in front of the logs when they are burning. Mesh panel doors are the most popular and are best for when there are toddlers present because they will not open backwards whereas the mesh screens are easily pushed in. Insulation goes between the back of the frame and the fireplace facing, providing a better seal.
Black Mesh Curtains - These slide back and forth on a rod behind the glass
Gate Mesh Doors - These are separate doors behind the glass that have a flat wire mesh and a black frame.
Insulation: Provides a better seal between the fireplace face and the door frame.
