Fireplace Screens to Protect Children - Project #20502

Customer Comments: Looking for cover to our fireplace to keep out of reach of kids

Our Comments: Single panel free standing screens are the least expensive and seem to do a good job protection children. Some can be connected using a spring mount as shown below. Mesh doors or glass doors are more expensive, but offer the best protection. Some can have child safety latches or keyed locks making it nearly impossible for a child to get into the fireplace.

Glass Doors and Mesh Doors

These offer the most protection. Mesh doors can be left closed when the fire is on. Glass doors must be open when burning gas logs, so it is best to have mesh doors behind the glass to protect children with the gas is on.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
