Fireplace Screens
Fireplace screens are available for less than $100 or more than
$400. They serve a decorative and practical function. A fireplace
screen can protect you from popping embers as the wood burns, and
they can provide a lovely accent to your hearth coming in many
styles and types.
A very popular style is the victorian fireplace screen. You can
find these on ebay as well various vendors across the internet.
While some homeowners will choose a standard metal screen,
others will go with a solid glass fireplace screen for a more
complete protection. One drawback to this is the amount of heat it
holds back from filling the room, although if your fireplace
doesn't produce heat, or not very much then this wouldn't be a
major concern.
When I was growing up we had a chainmail screen that opened and
closed like curtains in front of the firplace. It was amazing how
that screen would reduce the heat being produced simply by being
closed. On a cold winter night I loved to open it wide and sit
close to the fire, nearly sindging my skin. Several decades later
these screens are much more decorative and not nearly as dirty as
that chainmail screen got. My hands were often blackened from
opening it.
