How To Choose The Right Fireplace Screen For Your Home

A fireplace is a lovely thing to be able to look at while you and the family are just sitting around it and talking.

It really is something special. But the thing that gives it an even greater beauty, and safety, is having the right fireplace screens. While fireplaces are not used so much for heating these days, they still add elegance, and can wonderfully enhance the beauty of your living room or den. Here are a couple of things to think about as you choose the right fireplace screens for your home.

Mesh Fireplace Screens

Different styles of protection are available today. Many homes use a metal mesh screen in order to keep the sparks from flying. These are more for practicality rather than beauty. They work well while the fire is burning in allowing the heat to pass through the screen into the living room. Many people use these. Some of them are built into the fireplace, and others may come with either black frame, or brass-colored.

Spark Screens

Another kind of fireplace screens are those that consist of basic screen material with a frame. Frames can come in many styles and shapes. Some are bowed screens, others have folding leaves, and others more like an open box. Some are elegant, but most in this style are rather plain - but will definitely bring the needed protection for your home that every fireplace needs.

Glass Screens

More traditional fireplace screens are very basic in style and usually come framed in brass, copper, or a similar colored metal. These are popular, and with just the right matching fireplace tools, can add much beauty to your fireplace.

Designer Screens

These are the fireplace screens with all the extras. They can include things like frosted glass, etched glass, rounded tops, multiple panels, and could have a great amount of extra ornateness to them that add that touch that just speaks of quality and elegance.

Before you go out and buy that beautiful screen that you have your heart set on, be sure to learn how to properly size a fireplace screen. Also, for even greater safety for you, your children, and your home, be sure to have a fire extinguisher nearby – just in case.
