Benefits of Choosing 4-5 Panel Fireplace Screens

Oversized fireplaces, while magnificent and luxurious, require more than the additional room. They require a larger fireplace screen to keep curious kids and furry friends out, and hot embers in.

Paneled fireplaces are typically 3 panels, but for oversized fireplaces there are four or five paneled models. Unlike a 3 panel screen, 4- or 5-panel models contain panels that are each the same size and matching design, attached with hinges between each panel.

Multi-paneled screens are usually very stable, unlikely to fall when bumped. This is great news if you have children or pets in your home. Multi-paneled screens also keep your home safe by keeping the occasional flying spark on your hearth rather than your floor, where a fire might ignite.

If your oversized fireplace is wider than the standard 36” but no more than the standard 32” high, look for a 4 panel screen. Most 4 panel fireplace screens are 52” wide and 32” tall. There are a few available that are extra tall, measuring 52” wide and 52” tall, but the designs are very limited.

If your fireplace is taller than it is wide you need a 5 panel fireplace screen. Most 5 panel fireplace screens are just over 32” wide and up to 60” tall. There are few design options when choosing a 5 panel screen, however, because there are few manufacturers that bulk produce these.

If you can’t find the design you like in a 4 or 5 paneled screen, don’t give up on your fireplace. Take the measurements of your fireplace and design ideas to a blacksmith and inquire about a custom screen. They may not be as expensive as you think.

Extra large fireplaces add an air of royalty to any room they occupy and the screen should not be diminutive or undersized. Choose a screen that fits properly, like a 4 or 5 paneled fireplace screen.
