Measuring for Your Fireplace Mesh Curtain
Measuring Existing Mesh
- If you are satisfied with the dimensions of your existing screen, simply measure both its overall height and width, including any hanger rings.
- Measure the total height from top of the hanger rings to the bottom edge. (TOTAL MESH HEIGHT)
- Select the measurement nearest to your existing mesh screen from the options above.
Fireplace with Rod Installed
- Measure from your fireplace floor to the top of the rod. This gives you the overall length of the new mesh curtain with the 1/2" hanger rings.
- Allow for about 1/2" clearance to prevent dragging along the fireplace floor.
Fireplace with No Rod Installed
- Measure from your fireplace floor to the firebox ceiling or lintel iron, deducting 1". This gives you the overall height for the new screen.
- Allow about 1/2" clearance to prevent dragging along the fireplace floor.
Mesh Hiding Behind a Valance
- Locate the hidden mounting track behind the metal valance strip.
- Measure from hearth floor to the interior attachment point inside the valance slot.
- Allow about 1/2" clearance to prevent dragging along the fireplace floor.
Step-by-Step Replacement Guide
Remove the Existing Screen
Before installing the new screen, remove the old, broken, or worn-out curtain to ensure a seamless replacement. Locate the screws on the top, bottom, and sides of the existing screen that secure it in place. Determine whether these screws are attached to the side or front of the brick fireplace. Carefully use a drill or screwdriver to unscrew and remove them. Gently pull the screen away and upward to avoid scratching the fireplace brick.
Select a Screen and Test for Fit
Opt for a new screen with the same mounting design as the old one for a hassle-free installation. Common designs include screens secured by hand screws on the sides of the fireplace or screws directly into the front lintel iron. Note the measurements of the existing screen and bring them when purchasing a replacement. Test the new screen for fit by holding it over the fireplace opening.
Install the Support Screws
Commencing from the outside of the fireplace, install screws to support the new screen. If the screws fit existing holes, use a screwdriver to secure them. If the screw format differs, utilize a power drill with the appropriate concrete/masonry bit to drill holes where needed, marking drilling locations on the brick using chalk.
Ensure the screws are tightly secured, providing stability to the screen assembly. Test the screen to confirm its stability, making sure it won't fall if bumped or struck by external objects before completing the installation.
Selecting the Correct Mesh Curtain Rod
Straight Mesh Curtain Rod
How It Works: Straight rods feature straight, flat mounting ends designed to mount directly upward into the steel lintel iron spanning the top of the firebox.
Ideal Use: Best suited for installations where mounting hardware can attach into metal or flat ceilings above the opening. Provides a simple, clean appearance with smooth operation.
Angled Mesh Curtain Rod
How It Works: Angled rods feature bent mounting ends specifically designed to extend outward to attach into side brick mortar joints or sidewalls.
Ideal Use: Ideal for openings where drilling into the lintel iron isn't possible, or for non-standard/custom openings where mounting into side masonry joints provides a more secure fit.
Bypass Mesh Curtain Rod
How It Works: Uses a parallel double-track system that allows two mesh curtain panels to slide past and overlap each other seamlessly.
Ideal Use: Perfect for larger fireplace openings or for quick, easy access to logs without having to slide the entire screen out of the way, ensuring continuous heat protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace my existing mesh curtain with a custom one?
Yes, you can. Measure your existing curtain or firebox opening and choose a custom size that closely matches the dimensions required.
How do I clean my fireplace mesh curtain?
Use a soft brush attachment or vacuum to remove accumulated dust and soot debris. For stubborn residue, a mild detergent solution mixed with warm water and a soft cloth can be used.
Can I add a mesh curtain to my glass fireplace doors?
Yes, you can. Measure the opening inside your frame assembly and choose a mesh curtain that complements your glass doors while ensuring proper clearance for both elements.
Is professional installation recommended?
While many homeowners install mesh curtains themselves using basic household tools, professional installation can ensure optimal safety and functionality. Follow all instructions carefully if installing independently.
How often should I replace my mesh curtain?
Mesh curtains typically last for several years. Replace yours if it shows obvious signs of structural wear, tearing, or rust. Regular inspection before the burning season is recommended.
