Curve FIREGUARD 610MM Black 2074

Product Information

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. You might be shopping for a curved fireplace screen if you have a narrow hearth or if you want to ensure that sparks and embers won’t escape from the sides of your fireplace. The UniFlame Curved Fireplace Screen is a simple option that fits this purpose and is made of steel with a heavy-duty mesh for protection. We recommend this fireplace screen if you have hardwood floors, carpeting, or rugs and furniture in close proximity to your fireplace and you want to maximize protection against sparks or embers landing on these surfaces. 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. 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. We recommend the Pleasant Hearth Preston 3 Panel Fireplace Screen as the best overall choice. Affordable and stylish, it has a three-panel design that guards against sparks and embers and is made of durable and heat-resistant steel. If you want the convenience of a screen with doors, we recommend the splurge-worthy Pottery Barn Industrial Fireplace Door Screen. We like that it has a latch to keep the door securely closed and is available in two finishes. What to Look for in a Fireplace Screen Safety

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. 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.

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 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.This spark guard measures 33 inches wide and 44 inches tall and is designed to fit snugly against the front of your fireplace. The mesh screen covers the front and sides of the firebox, and the top of the spark guard ensures that sparks and embers don’t escape from the top, either. This type of fireplace screen is a good choice if you want to have extra assurance that your floors, furniture, and children and pets will be protected from sparks and embers. The iron construction makes it a little heavier than some other options (it weighs 18 pounds), but it also offers more stability and is less likely to tip over. 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. 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. The stability of a fireplace screen is important, especially if you have children or pets in the home. A fireplace screen is intended to have safety benefits, but if it’s unsteady and prone to falling over, it can become a nuisance or a liability. Factors that determine the stability of a fireplace screen include whether the screen has feet, the weight of the material it’s made from and whether it’s a flat panel or hinged panel design. 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.

Please note: This fire guard is not intended for child safety purposes but primarily designed for spark protection and decorative enhancement. 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. Durable and steady, a wrought iron fireplace screen is a practical choice. This version from Home Loft Concepts has a welded iron frame with mesh screen to shield your surroundings from the hazards of a hot fire. It has a flat panel design to fit flush against your firebox and two feet to provide balance, although it would be nice if the feet were adjustable like they are on some other freestanding fireplace screens. 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. You want to approximately match the size of your fireplace to the screen you choose. If you choose a screen that is significantly smaller than your fireplace, it won’t be as effective at minimizing these risks.

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.
