Source for fireplace covers
Sorry, I forgot the pictures in my earlier post: I’m looking to replace the covers on two brownstone fireplaces (see pictures). Can anyone recommend a good source for these? (I’ve tried Eddie’s in Clinton Hill and didn’t find what I’m looking for.) Also, can anyone recommend someone to install these replacements? What kind of contractor…

Hi,
We restored a marble fireplace in our brownstone and now we’re looking for an iron rim to line the interior of the marble (or perhaps a cover)? The opening is 32 inches high and 28 inches wide. Any ideas?
OP here. We met Manny last week and it looks as though he has what we need. I’ll let you know how we get on. Thanks for all your suggestions.
we have a couple of these and they look to be the same size as the one pictured. send me an email if you want to stop by and take a look. asachs@wildedge.com.
I just saw a couple of these fireplace covers at the salvage place on Greene in Clinton Hill, just north of (I think) Classon. They’re pretty common. I bet he’s cheaper than Olde Good Things.
they sell them on ebay as well.
search under fireplace cover or iron fireplace cover.
you will usually get a better price than anywhere else even with the shipping charges.
Manny Lasalle can sell you the piece and install it. Check this site for his number or Google Brownstoner, Manny Lasalle and you’ll get his number.
RG is right. I left the existing summer covers on my other fireplaces….had them stripped and they look fantastic…really nice looking metal that looks great if you keep it clean.
Many thanks, all.
One of our Summer covers was heavily painted and we had Manny strip it to the bare metal. I use WD-40 once in a while and it looks amazing. The paint on your cover looks sad, but the cover itself might look fine if you strip it. Try that remedy before you replace your covers, you may like them after all. Good luck.
