The first type is a standup folding fireplace screen. These are normally 3, 4, or 5 hinged panels. These are screens are mesh and metal and can be placed close up to or directly against the open fireplace. They can be adjusted by folding and straightening the panels. The finely meshed screens keep the sparks, embers and ash from coming into the room but allow for easy circulation of the air to keep the fire going. They come in numerous styles and designs and can be found to match any décor. They available in bronze, black metal, brass, silver and pewter finishes. They also are available in a combination of materials and designs to add a beautiful decorative touch to your home.
The second type of screen is a finely meshed curtain that is installed on a track right at the entrance to your fireplace. The mesh screen is threaded on a cord and slides open and closed as needed to cover your fire. These mesh screens again allow air to circulate but the smalls holes protect your surrounding from the sparks and other fire starters. These curtains are great because they completely cover the opening of your fireplace. They are installed on a made to measurement setting so there are no wide gaps around the fire as with other types of screens.
Some people enjoy the look of a combination of fire screens. The first level of defense is a mesh curtain which covers the opening of the fireplace and the second level is a decorative version of the screen which adds a nice look to the opening of your fireplace.
