Johnny Woolsey Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I am working with a client on my first commission of fireplace doors for a large fireplace.We have decided on brass screen but I have no idea as to wire size and opening size that would be appropriate. The design is very simple but has large unsupported openings to be filled with the screen.(32" X 26" inside the frames on each side) I see a lot of suppliers online but would appreciate recommendations from "The Professionals" Thanks Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judson Yaggy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I buy my screen from McMaster-Carr. Check here, do some reading. http://www.mcmaster.com/#wire-cloth/=be683m Even if you don't buy from them their descriptions and sizing details should give you the vocabulary to get what you want from other sources. I'm sure someone will note that there are cheaper suppliers out there but McMaster will have it in stock and DELIVERED the next biz day. That's worth at least + 30% to me.

space hammer Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I use mcnichols. All sorts of mesh of various types. Bronze will be quite pricey though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Woolsey Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for the replies and info. I ended up finding a company called Screen Technology Group that was a great help.They provided what they called 8 mesh in a .025 brass wire delivered for about $7.30 a square foot. This was almost half what others had quoted. Thanks again for your help. Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
