There are many different types of fireplace screens available today. The right one for you is a matter of personal expression. You can have them for the sole purpose of protection from popping wood and spreading ashes or you can go for a more ornamental look that will spice up your space.
You can find them that will serve both purposes as well. They are typically made from very heavy metals and defiantly from a fire resistant material. Some are made from steel that is formed very intricately into a beautiful design. They look like beautiful pieces of art as well as a protector for the fire place. Your guests will be amazed at the beauty.
You can also find fireplace screens that are made from brass. The brass provides a completely different look from a steel screen. Either one is functional but when you place the brass screen on the hearth, the color will really stand out against a stone or brick fireplace. They are also reasonably priced so almost anyone can afford them.
The wonderful thing about a fireplace screen is that when you are not using the fireplace you can pull the screen over the front of the fireplace and hide any old ashes or dirt that may be in there.
All people will see is the decorative screen and that you have a fireplace in your home. Having a fireplace alone is a big deal to most people. Many people purchase homes just because it has a fireplace.
Getting cozy in front of the fire is a great thing and an excellent benefit to owning a home that has a fire place. The fireplace screen will keep you and your loved ones safe from popping wood and flying ashes. It will also make your home look great when you have visitors over or just for your viewing pleasures. Take a look at them today and see what an impressive addition it will make to your home.
