Using a Fireplace Screen Curtain or Small Fireplace Screen
| Using a fireplace screen curtain is a favorite option for many and may be something of a necessity if you have children or pets. A good or small fireplace screen can work to keep embers in and children and pets out of the fireplace, but it can get knocked over or displaced somewhat easily in a high traffic environment. |

Using a fireplace screen curtain is a favorite option for many and may be something of a necessity if you have children or pets. A good or small fireplace screen can work to keep embers in and children and pets out of the fireplace, but it can get knocked over or displaced somewhat easily in a high traffic environment. Installing a fireplace screen curtain is actually very easy and nothing that should get a person overwhelmed. It typically just screws into a few pieces along the edges of the fireplace, and can be used on its own or with a small fireplace screen. If you’ve been shopping for such a screen, consider a few quick pointers before you purchase. |
To Install
Before you buy your fireplace screen curtain be sure you do some measuring. Obviously there’s a big difference between a curtain that is 36×48 and one that is 25×48! You’ll need a drill to screw the mounting bracket and rods into place, but it is not a complicated project for anyone.
Using the Curtain
Many find that using a fireplace screen curtain with a small fireplace screen is best. If you don’t have children or pets to worry about, you can open the curtain and use the fireplace screen on its own for a more unobstructed view of the fire. Or if you see the curtain as being somewhat unsightly, you can purchase a lovely fireplace screen to put in front of it for a better view.
Remember that you want to make sure that whatever you have in front of your fireplace, it goes well with your overall décor. A wrought iron fireplace screen may seem more traditional than a brass fireplace screen which may be very fancy. Make sure the screen doesn’t overwhelm your décor either; you may like the fancy scrollwork and details but they may make your fireplace screen stand out too much.
Using a fireplace screen curtain is not just about aesthetics; it’s about safety as well. So choose one carefully and install it properly before you use your fireplace again!
