Benefits of 3 Panel Fireplace Screens
Typical 3
panel doors are made with a large panel in the
middle, 28 32 wide and just as tall.
Fireplace screens have been around for a
relatively short time in the history of the
fireplaces. They were only invented in the 18th
century and, at that time, were used to keep
ashes and sparks in the fire. Nowadays, they are
used for much more. They are accents to the room
and safety guards to keep children and pets out
of the fire. They still keep embers in the fire,
as well.
Typical 3 panel doors are made with a large
panel in the middle, 28 32 wide and just as
tall. Attached with hinged on either side of the
large center panel are panels half the width and
same height as the main panel. Hinged, 3 panel
screens are more stable than single panel
screens; they are less likely to fall when
placed on a hearth or floor, even when bumped.
Some 3 panel fireplace screens have doors that
open and close built into the large panel. These
doors are handy for adding wood or adjusting the
fire, because you dont have to move the entire
screen.
If you are considering a 3, 4 or 5 panel screen
keep these in mind:
- Fewer hinges on a 3 panel screens let you see
more of the fire
- Fewer panels are easier to move because there
are fewer moving parts and are lighter
- 3 panel screens are just the right size for
fireplaces up to 36 square openings
- 3 panel screens are less expensive than 4 or 5
panel screens
- There are more design styles available in 3
panel screens than in 4 or 5 paneled
Choose a screen that will add aesthetical appeal
to your room and keep you safe as well. Three
panel screens can do this and more. They can
make fire maintenance easier if you choose a
screen with the door feature.
