Know before you buy
No, this screen is designed for ornamental use and does not feature a mesh backing. It is intended to serve as a decorative focal point rather than a functional spark guard.
Measure the opening of your fireplace and choose the size that best covers the width while allowing for a slight overlap on the sides. The 41-inch and 50-inch options provide flexibility to accommodate most standard hearth sizes.
The screen is finished with specialty hand-applied coatings designed to withstand the heat of a standard fireplace. However, because it is a decorative piece, you should avoid direct contact with flames to preserve the integrity of the finish.
The Romanesque French Fireplace Screen arrives fully assembled and ready to place. Simply position it in front of your hearth to instantly update the look of your fireplace.
Yes, this screen is an excellent choice for gas fireplaces, especially since it lacks a mesh backing. It allows the firelight to shine through the intricate latticework, creating a beautiful, sculptural effect without obstructing the view.
