Curve FIREGUARD 610MM Black 2074

Product Information

Please note: This fire guard is not intended for child safety purposes but primarily designed for spark protection and decorative enhancement. Kimberly Greenwell, home education expert and host of the TV show "My Southern Home," says, "The fireplace screen should always cover the entire opening to prevent embers from entering your home and children and pets from being injured by the fire." The exception may be for a ventless gas fireplace, where the screen is simply decorative or may be a deterrent to touching the hot glass.

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. 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. 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. The steel mesh of this fireplace screen allows heat from your fireplace to dissipate while preventing sparks and embers from escaping into the room. You’ll appreciate the folding, three-panel design since it makes it easier to move and store the screen when not in use.The design of a fireplace screen impacts its visual appeal. There is a wide range of styles to choose from, making it a matter of personal preference regarding the look and finish of the fireplace screen you choose. While fireplace screens have a functional purpose, you might choose one based on its design—knowing it will serve as a focal point in the room. The simplest design of fireplace screens may have no adornment or features on the frame and screen, while other options feature metal scrollwork or other design details, like the classic, Victorian-styled Pleasant Hearth Arched 3-Panel Fireplace Screenor the modern West Elm Deco Fireplace Screen. 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. With the Mansion Fire Screen, you can enjoy the warmth and ambience of your fireplace without the hassle of constant cleanup. Embrace both style and safety with this must-have accessory today! This outdoor fireplace screen is constructed of cast aluminum for rust resistance. The wire mesh of the screen is fine enough to prevent sparks and embers from escaping but allows for the heat to easily pass through. You especially want to choose a fireplace screen with this attribute if you plan to use it in an outdoor living roomwhere you’re relying on the fire’s warmth for comfort. Whether you choose to use this fireplace screen outdoors or indoors, it has an appealing art deco aesthetic, and it's available in multiple finishes to suit the style of your patio, porch, or any other living space. It features a fine mesh screen that offers some protection against flying sparks and errant ashes, ensuring the safety of your home and loved ones.

Glass is another category of fireplace screen materials. Options like the CB2 Ledge Glass Fireplace Screen offer a clear visual of the fireplace and the flames inside but can be more challenging to keep clean. The solid material also tends to direct heat to the ceiling rather than allowing it to pass horizontally through the screen and into the room. A flat fireplace screen fits flush against your firebox and keeps logs, embers, and sparks from landing on the hearth or entering your room. It’s a simple design that works well for most fireplaces in the home. We love this decorative version, the Plow & Hearth Crest Flat Guard Screen, which serves a functional purpose while adding a beautiful focal point to the room. This option is made of steel, has a mesh screen for spark protection, and offers a latching mechanism to keep the doors securely closed. That's an important feature. Without the doors closed, this fireplace screen will be less effective. Greenwell, home education expert and host of the TV show "My Southern Home ,"says, "Fireplace screens with large openings, without wire mesh, do not protect your home from loose embers that can land on your rugs, carpet, and other easily flammable household items." Adding to the safety features of this freestanding fireplace screen are its adjustable feet, which provide better stability if you have an uneven hearth. 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.
