Fireplace Screen Shapes

If you are contemplating getting a new fireplace screen for your hearth, you may be surprised by how many options are available to you.

Over the past few years, using your fireplace as a centerpiece in your decorating theme has come to the front and merchandisers have kept up with the demand. When choosing a fireplace screen, one of the first things you’ll need to decide upon is the shape of the screen you desire. The following information will help you to decide what is right for you.

The number of panels that a fireplace screen has will vary from one to as many as five and they may have a straight or bowed shaped to them, as well as have a door to allow you access to the fire. Single panel fireplace screens will general fit flat up against the fireplace and will have adjustable feet, allowing you to move them closer or further away from the fire. However, the curved single panel screen will be curved enough so they can stand on their own.

When you find a three or four-panel screen, you’ll see they are hinged for greater flexibility in adjusting them to fit the width of the fireplace. Regardless of whether you purchase a single panel or multi-panel fireplace screen, they’ll either come with a flat top or an arched top. With multi-panel screens, each screen may be arched by itself or they all have an arch to create a pattern.

When choosing a fireplace screen for your hearth, choose one that matches your décor. If your room is done in flat clear lines, adding an arch topped screen will detract from the look you are trying to create. In this case, a flat topped screen would be more appropriate. On the other hand, if you’ve created an atmosphere that requires an arch, there will be several for you to choose from, whether it is simply curved at the top or the arches lead to an elegant design. The fact is you’ll have many options in shapes and designs when choosing a screen for your fireplace.
