Know before you buy
Measure the width and height of your firebox opening, then add at least one to two inches to each dimension to ensure the screen provides adequate coverage and overlaps the opening slightly. Since this piece is hand-forged to order, providing precise measurements ensures a tailored fit for your specific hearth.
No, the Willowmere Iron Fire Screen arrives fully assembled. It features fixed iron feet, allowing you to simply place it directly in front of your firebox opening immediately after unboxing.
The central mesh panel is designed specifically to balance safety with visibility. It effectively contains embers and sparks while remaining transparent enough to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the flames.
To preserve the finish, simply dust the screen periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the patina or the applied metallic accents.
Yes, the screen is an excellent choice for gas fireplaces. Because it acts as a decorative centerpiece, it helps soften the look of the firebox even when the fireplace is not in use, making it a versatile year-round accessory.
The screen is designed to sit on a flat surface in front of the firebox. If you have a raised hearth, ensure there is enough depth on the ledge to accommodate the screen's footprint and that the surface is level for stability.
