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 cant find the design you like in a 4 or
5 paneled screen, dont 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.

Decorative fireplace
screens
When you buy a fireplace screen be sure to buy a fireplace set that matches
the design of the screen. It will create an elegant look to any room.
Best pellet stove
Since a pellet stove does not need ventilation from a chimney they can be
moved placed in any area that you think needs a little more warmth. Mostly though
they are placed in living rooms and bedrooms since this is where most people
spend their time.
