Available in a variety of materials and finishes, fireplace screens are as decorative as they are functional. Sold in styles that have between 1-5 panels made of iron, copper, brass, bronze, or black, our fireplace screens provide a protective shield from fly away embers and sparks. The perfect addition to your living room, if you don’t already have a fireplace screen, what are you waiting for?
Safety
Keep your living room safe from the elements. With their main purpose being a protective covering, a fireplace screen ensures no stray fire particles hurt loved ones, pets, carpet, or furniture. If you’re building a high-end fireplace and keen on the quality of your home décor, why not protect both investments?
Heat Regulation
Originally created to reduce the discomfort of excessive heat from a log fire, early fire screens were generally shaped as flat panels standing on attached feet, or as adjustable shield-shaped panels mounted on tripod table legs. By placing a screen in front of the fire and opening and closing the sliding panels, you can regulate the amount of heat let out, controlling it to some degree based on the preference of the people in the room. Also a good way to block the chimney, less air conditioning and heat can escape, which means less wasted energy and money for you.
Beauty
Made of high quality finishes, you can buy a basic
fire screen to serve a purpose or you can use the space to create a real focal point for your living room. Once elaborately decorated, fancy silks and embroidery draped fire screens in the Victorian era. Today, they have taken shape as a collector’s item of sorts, with beautiful antiques found as buried treasures in yard sales, auctions, fairs, and estate sales. Or opt for a more current version with sleek metalwork and contemporary accents.
