Fireplace screens are not only beautiful addition to any fireplace, but also provide added protection. They however, are not necessary, since you can pull closed the iron curtain, which is usually at the front of the fireplace. Fireplace screens are available it a wide variety from single screens, to multi-panel screens and
very plain to intricately detailed.

Fireplace Screens for Safety

Fireplace screens are spark guards, which protect against stray sparks from popping onto carpet, curtains, furniture, or people. You can find fireplace screens in all shapes and sizes, ranging from molded wrought iron, antique brass, gold, silver, or bronze. You can even find fireplace screens made of glass or metal. You can
find a fireplace screen in any style you are looking for, from very plain and simple to elaborate designs.

I inherited the fireplace screen that served proudly in my grandparents? home. It's a very a plain screen, made from wrought iron. However, if you look closely you'll see small pinwheels, which turn as the fire warms the room. A friend of mine works with stained glass. For his wife's birthday, he painstakingly crafted
a beautiful stained glass screen of irises. It's beautiful to watch the flames dancing behind the image. You can find whatever you want in a fireplace screen to accent your fireplace, even if you hire someone to make it for you.
