Choosing Fireplace Screen Doors and a Small Fireplace Screen

Using fireplace screen doors is not just a matter of how your fireplace looks; you need to protect your home from burning embers that might fly out, and keep children and other items from making their way into the fireplace as well! Using a small fireplace screen is a good choice for many but there are reasons why you may want to consider a door with it or instead of it.
Of course the choice is yours and you have many options when it comes to new fireplace screens. Consider how a brass fireplace screen can add color and brilliance to your wall whereas a wrought iron fireplace screen can make it seem more traditional. But why choose fireplace screen doors versus other options you have? Added Safety

Typically a fireplace screen sits in front of the fireplace itself and while it’s very safe, it can be tipped over somewhat easily. If you have children or pets or high traffic in your home, you may want to consider fireplace screen doors instead. Think of how often children toss around a ball or their toys or how often a pet runs in front of your screen and you’ll understand why a door is more secure.



Standard fireplace screen doors offer more security for the embers inside the fireplace as well. While just about every fireplace screen will offer this security, there may be times when some embers will get past them and damage your carpet or tile, and even pose a fire hazard. This is especially true if you use specialty woods that may cause more popping and more activity with those embers.

Appearance

If you’re concerned about the appearance of your room when adding fireplace screen doors remember that you can use a fireplace screen in front of it. This will not take away from the visual appeal of your fire and will add even more appeal as well.

Simple choose fireplace screen doors and a screen that work well with your décor. This might be a simple mission fireplace screen, depending upon your home’s style and furniture.
