You Might Need a Custom Built Fireplace Screen If…..

With so many styles and sizes of fireplace screens available, it might be hard to believe you would need to have one custom made.

But there are situations that call for one of a kind screen for aesthetic and function objectives. While all possible reasons will not be covered here, the common ones will.

You might need a custom fireplace screen if…

  • The opening for your fireplace is arched or pointed at the top
  • You do not have room for an external fireplace screen or you do not have a hearth, you will need an installed screen
  • Your fireplace is wider than 52”
  • Your fireplace is taller than 60”
  • Yours is a wrap around fireplace, not a hole in a wall
  • You want a monogrammed screen
  • Hand forged steel or iron is your style
  • You like the ultra modern decorating style and want to avoid ornamentals
  • You like stained glass and don’t plan on using your screen for function, but solely for decoration
  • You want to build your own out of new or recycled materials
  • You have a split fireplace, separated in the middle by a wall or column
  • You are looking for a one-of-a-kind piece of metallic art
  • You need to match an existing screen or other pattern in the room
  • The theme of the room is unique and you can’t find a stock screen that fits in
  • Your fireplace is not near the ground but placed close to eye level, you will need a screen that attaches both at the top and bottom of your fireplace opening
  • You want a screen that reflects a specific piece of art

If you decide you are best served by a custom fireplace screen, you will likely need a blacksmith (for metal screens) or a stained glass artist. Look in your yellow pages or online for one in your area or one who’s work you admire.
