How to measure for your brand new screen
So how do you find out what size fireplace screen you should have for your hearth?  All you need to worry about is a few measurements:  The width of the opening and the height of your fireplace measuring from the ledge that your fireplace screen will rest on.  With these two measurements you'll pick out the best size fireplace covering.  If you're shopping for a three, four, or five panel fireplace screen you should necessitate a screen that is wide enough to allow for a fold in the fireplace screen so that it will not tip over.  Simply add ten-twelve inches to the opening of your fireplace and that is the measurement (or layflat dimension) of the screen that you should need.  So if your fireplace opening is 36 inches, your useable covering for your fireplace should be at least 46 inches.  To provide enough protection from cinders, your fireplace screen ought to reach to the top of  the opening of the fireplace or be even bigger.  Since you've discovered what size your freestanding fireplace screens ought to be, you can select the finish and style.  One panel screens for fireplaces merely need to overlap the opening all around for enough shelter from straying sparks.

After you purchase the fireplace covering, a heavy and substantial set of fireplace tools is the second most essential thing for your fireplace that a person can buy.  The general set of fireplace tools will have a poker for maintaining the fire, a hand broom for tidying up the powder, and a shovel for gathering up the ashes.  If you want to spend a little extra money you can obtain a tool set for fires that includes some tongs for lifting hot logs.  Almost all of our fireplace screens have matching tools for the fireplace that take all the guess work out of matching your fireplace.
