Fireplace Screen Doors | Custom Mesh Fireplace Doors

Mesh Fireplace Doors

Looking for a safe, stylish, and practical upgrade for your masonry fireplace? Fireplace screen doors with mesh panels give you the best of both worlds: spark protection and an open-fire feel. Unlike glass doors, fireplace mesh doors allow heat and airflow while keeping embers where they belong. With U.S.-made quality, custom sizing, and finish options, they’re a smart investment for any home.

What Are Fireplace Mesh Doors?

Mesh fireplace doors are built with:

• A steel frame for strength

• Woven mesh panels instead of glass

• Cabinet-style doors that open easily for fire tending

They differ from mesh curtains, which hang loosely and feel temporary. Fireplace screen doors deliver a polished, built-in look and everyday convenience.

Benefits at a Glance

For homeowners who want safety + airflow without sacrificing style, mesh doors strike the best balance.

Custom Options & Finishes

Every fireplace is different, which is why our mesh doors are made to order. You’ll get:

• Sizing: Inside or overlap fit, tailored to your exact dimensions

• Finishes: Standard and premium powder coat finish options

• Craftsmanship: 100% U.S. made with long-lasting steel construction

This means no awkward gaps, no “one-size-fits-all,” just a fireplace screen with doors built to match your home.

Fitment Types & Installation

Inside Fit

• Frame mounts flush within the fireplace opening

• Creates a clean, built-in look

Overlap Fit

• Frame overlaps the edges of the opening

• Covers imperfections and adds bold framing

Tip: Accurate measuring is the most important step. Once sized correctly, many homeowners can install their mesh door themselves, while others prefer a professional for a seamless finish.

Mesh Doors vs. Other Options

Mesh Doors vs. Mesh Curtains
Curtains are affordable but temporary, while mesh doors are a permanent, sturdier upgrade. They also open and close like traditional cabinet doors, making daily use much easier.

Mesh Doors vs. Glass Fireplace Doors
Glass doors help with energy efficiency but must stay open during a fire. Mesh doors can stay closed, giving you both spark protection and constant heat flow. Many homeowners choose mesh-only designs for the safety and convenience they provide.
