Custom Fireplace Glass Doors - Project #11253
Customer Comments: Trying to replace our fireplace screen. Attached is our current one. It is attached at the top and the pull mechanism pulls it up and down. However it regularly detaches because of its weight. We want to replace with a curtain version. The screen appears to be black steel. The opening is 72 inches w by 23.25 inches high.
Our Comments: Below are several options for treating your fireplace. Screens that have mesh curtains will use our "I-Beam Track" which allows mesh curtains to be used on wider fireplaces without having a curtain rod that sags.
Fireplace Opening: 72" W x 23 1/4" H
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.

Before:
Stone Manufacturing Wrought Iron Fireplace Screens
Each of the options below is hand crafted from wrought iron in a Natural Iron finish. We have many other finishes and materials available, but we chose this one to show the various ways a screen can be made for this fireplace.
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 Wrought Iron Bar and Mesh with I-Beam Track in Natural Iron. Shown with Square Tassels.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 Wrought Iron Bar and Mesh with I-Beam Track in Natural Iron with Matching WI-F-92 Fender. The fender helps prevent logs that fall off the grate from rolling out under the mesh as well as sparks and embers from bouncing under the mesh curtains. Shown with wands that make it easier to slide the mesh left and right for large openings.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing WI-CFR85 Wrought Iron 4-Sided Mesh Curtain Frame Screen with I-Beam Track. The frame screen provides a finished look with the same advantage of the fender.
Option #4: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1M Wrought Iron Mesh Door with Unique Pseudo Clearview Bifolding Doors. These doors open 180 degrees folding back on themselves like a glass fireplace door for easy access to the fire.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1G Wrought Iron Bifold Fireplace Glass Door with Mesh Curtains. This is ultimately the safest and most functional way to use this fireplace. You can close the doors as the fire dies out or if you need to leave in a hurry, keeping you safe while blocking cold air from coming into the room during the night.
I-Beam Track
Below is an example showing what the I-Beam track looks like. There are rollers attached to the mesh curtain that fit onto the track making it the sturdiest mesh system for large fireplaces.
Option #5: Stone Manufacturing I-Beam Track shown attached to the back side of a header bar.

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.
