Curve FIREGUARD 610MM Black 2074

Product Information

Moreover, the curved top and sides of this guard are not just visually appealing; they are also highly functional. They effectively contain sparks and ash, preventing them from venturing beyond the fireplace. A primary function of a fireplace screen is to provide a measure of safety. In the case of a wood-burning fireplace, the screen is designed to keep sparks, embers, or logs from escaping out of the hearth and into the room. The steel mesh of the screen should have a network of small openings that allow for airflow and heat transfer but aren’t so large that sparks or embers would easily pass through.

Fireplace screens can cost several hundred dollars depending on the materials, design, and finish, but you can shield your space from embers and sparks with a more affordable version. The Best Choice Products Simple Steel Mesh Fireplace Screen is simple but budget-friendly. It’s made from a steel alloy and comes in three different finishes to suit your style or decor. Fireplace screens are most commonly made of metal. Alloy steel is one of the most popular materials and usually equates to a fireplace screen that is lightweight. This can be an advantage if you frequently move your fireplace screen for storage but a disadvantage if you have children or pets that might bump into the fireplace screen. Because of the light weight of these models, they sometimes are more prone to tipping over. On the other hand, cast or wrought iron fireplace screens are among the heaviest options. While this makes them more challenging to maneuver, they’re usually fairly sturdy and durable. A single-panel fireplace screen that fits flush against the opening of a wood-burning fireplace should be about 1 inch wider than the firebox. For fireplace screens with multiple panels, you should select an option that is 10 to 12 inches wider than the opening so that the panels can be arranged in a way that keeps the screen stable and standing on its own.

A spark guard is a specific type of fireplace screen that provides more coverage across the width and height of your firebox. It features a mesh screen with a top and sides that enclose the opening of the fireplace while still allowing plenty of airflow to the flames. We recommend the Symple Stuff Dang Spark Guard for this category since it features wrought iron construction and handles to make it easier to move the fireplace screen from one spot to another.

The West Elm Deco Metal Fireplace Screen is available in two sizes: small (38 x 28.5 inches) and large (38 x 32 inches). The option with marble feet is also available in an extra large size (50 x 35 inches) to accommodate larger fireplaces. There are no handles to move the fireplace screen out of the way when not in use, but it looks stylish enough to leave as a focal point in front of your fireplace all the time. A three-panel fireplace screen is a good choice if you want to ensure that you have adequate coverage across the front of your firebox. In addition, most options with three panels are foldable, making them easier to move out of the way and more space-efficient for storage. The Pleasant Hearth Arched 3 Panel Fireplace Screen makes a great choice if this functionality is important to you. Most other fireplace screens with doorsutilize magnets to hold the doors closed, but it’s worth noting that magnets may fail after repeated exposure to high heat, and then the doors need to be removed. This isn’t a concern with the Pottery Barn Industrial Fireplace Door Screen because the doors have a latch instead of the usual magnetic closure system. However, use caution when opening the doors since the latch can become very hot to the touch, like the rest of the steel fireplace screen. A fireplace screen with doors offers protection from sparks and embers while making it easy to tend the fire or clean up ashes after the flames have gone out. If that’s the type of fireplace screen you’re searching for, we recommend the Pottery Barn Industrial Fireplace Door Screen.

The Alpine model from Pleasant Hearth is a cabinet-style fireplace screen that has an alloy steel frame with dual tempered glass doors. A rigid mesh screen allows for ventilation when the fireplace is in use while still acting as a barrier between the firebox and the rest of the room. A hidden damper knob gives you control over airflow and allows you to make adjustments as needed. A cabinet-style fireplace screen provides a built-in look when compared to freestanding fireplace screens. A characteristic feature is a double-door opening that provides easy access to the firebox but a mesh screen to keep sparks, embers, and logs contained. This is also a very energy-efficient choice for a fireplace screen; when the glass doors are closed, heat loss through the chimney of your fireplace is reduced. The CB2 Ledge Glass Fireplace Screen is easy to clean and care for. The tempered glass surface wipes clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. However, take note that there are no handles on this fireplace screen, and it becomes hot when exposed to the heat from a fire. So it’s not as ideal for situations where you may need to frequently tend to a wood-burning fire. Instead, it’s a better fit for gas fireplaces or if you don’t plan to regularly add logs to your fire.With the Mansion Fire Screen, you can enjoy the warmth and ambience of your fireplace without the hassle of constant cleanup.

Designed with an antique brass finish, this fire screen exudes a timeless elegance that complements any interior decor. Its curved front panel with a thin edge not only enhances the overall aesthetic of your fireplace but also keeps sparks and ash where they belong – inside the hearth.
