Screens and Doors for Brick Fireplace - Project #11520
Customer Comments: Hi, We recently took out the brass fireplace doors, but now I'm not sure exactly what I want. I was hoping to see what y'all had in mind in terms of using a screen or using doors? Or whatever other ideas y'all have! We are planning on changing the mantle to a darker brown color, and our other items are mostly black! Thanks!
Our Comments: Below you will find a variety of screens and doors that can be made to fit your fireplace, both decorative and functional.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
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.

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.
