You can shop online for fireplace screens and see all the types and styles offered. There are many shapes and changes from one to another that you can find one to fit your style. The screen will protect your family from ashes in the air and sparks popping out starting a fire.
The screen is an important safe function of the fireplace. In order to get screens that fit properly measure the front and add 3 to 5 inches to the height of the fireplace opening. Add 10 to 12 inches to the width of the opening. You are allowing for covering past the opening, therefore giving you maximum protection. Another reason for buying screens larger than the opening is for stand-alone screens so they will not tip over.
Depending on the style of your fireplace, you can pick a screen that fits "all designs". These usually stand alone and as one panel although the choices are many for stand-alone screens. Allowing extra inches gives room for folds but using common sense decides what you need to add to get the right size.
Fireplaces are good sources for heat but if you are losing the heat, it may be the efficiency of your screen. Choose from an Iron or Glass Screen to give extra control with the efficiency of your fireplace.
Choose from wrought iron, graphite, curve glass, brass, and bronze screens just to mention some of the choices. Check out the accessories that come in matching sets with cleaning tools, fire starters, hearthrugs, wood holders, and candelabras are just some of the matching extras.
All you need are your measurements and time to look at fireplace screens. You can stay within a budget and still choose from an assortment of styles and prices. You will not be disappointed with a fireplace screen during the cold winter months.
