A fireplace screen is a protective barrier placed in front of a fireplace to prevent sparks, embers, and ash from escaping into the room. These screens come in various styles, materials, and sizes, allowing homeowners to choose one that complements their decor while ensuring safety. In addition to safety, fireplace screens can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a living space. They are often made from materials like metal, glass, or mesh, and can feature decorative designs. Many screens are also designed to be easily removable for cleaning and maintenance of the fireplace.
