The screen is an important safe function of the fireplace. In order to get screens that fit properly measure the front and add 3 to 5 inches to the height of the fireplace opening. Add 10 to 12 inches to the width of the opening. You are allowing for covering past the opening, therefore giving you maximum protection. Another reason for buying screens larger than the opening is for stand-alone screens so they will not tip over.
The style and shape of your fireplace and the d?cor of the room can all be in harmony. You can choose a stand-alone screen that folds or curves and they have sizes that fit \"all\" fireplaces. Remember your measurements and add inches to them because screens with folds will need extra width.
