Screen Options for Rock Fireplace - Project #11515
Customer Comments: Hello - we would like to get either two swing out doors or a similar hanging chain screen (but one that opens and closes smoothly and seals tight in the middle - the one we have is pretty junky). Black color is preferred.
Our Comments: We have created mockups showing options for glass doors, screen doors and mesh curtains to help you get an idea how they might look on your fireplace. Because this is a Zero Clearance Prefabricated fireplace, if glass doors are installed they must mount outside the stone and use 1/4" spacers on the back side of the frame to allow airflow into the fireplace. We can discuss this with you further over the phone.
Fireplace Opening: 39" to 41" W x 25" 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:
Affordable Aluminum Doors
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.
High End Hand Crafted Wrought Iron/Steel Doors

Option #6: Hearth Creations DXF-41 Laser Cut Pattern Mesh Door. This can be made where the pattern is in the door frame with separate mesh doors behind the pattern, so the patterned doors can be open with separate mesh doors that can remain closed for spark protection and better fire viewing. You can also close the patterned doors for a unique ambience with the fire showing through the pattern. Explore More DXF Patterns Here!.
Mesh Curtains
Mesh curtains can be installed with a bar that fits inside the top of the opening (bar and mesh) or with a frame that surrounds the opening. Because the opening is wider at the bottom, there will be a gap between the mesh and the stone at the bottom when using a bar and mesh. The frame screen will hide the gap.

Option #8: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 Wrought Iron Bar and Mesh in Flat Black. Shown with WI-AN18 Wrought Iron Ring Andirons.

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.
