Fireplace Screen wrought Iron

For anyone seeking an elegant fireplace screen wrought iron should be high on your list. Wrought iron is a material used for furniture, gates and other items. It became very popular during the Victorian era and still is to this day. Craftsmen choose this material because it is malleable, strong and can be used in a wide variety of applications. Although wrought iron is usually featured in black it can be painted any color of your choice. You will find a fireplace gate made from wrought iron is heavy yet flexible and can serve your needs.


Fireplace screens, gates and enclosures are used for various reasons. First, it is imperative to your safety to keep your fireplace blocked. This is especially the case if you have children or pets. Even if you don't, you still want to avoid fiery sparks accidentally hitting your carpet or furniture because there is no screen there to withhold them. Screens keep people and animals from getting too close to the fire and they add visual appeal to your fireplace. You can find screens made from glass, fire resistant wood and many different metals, including wrought iron. If it is sophisticated style you're after this is the metal for you.

Wrought iron screens can even be customized with your family initial. Wine Enthusiast is a company who makes a grapevine style wrought iron screen that features one letter in the center. The distressed bronze and swirling black iron is reminiscent of a scene from an old fashioned vineyard home. Even if you don't care for customization you may still want to look into handmade iron screens and covers for your fireplace. The protection and durability they provide is hard to beat, and they look great regardless of your decor style.

The average fireplace screen, wrought iron or not, is made from folding panels. While most screens consist of three panels some even have as many as five folding panels. Then you will find the occasional screen with wrought iron detailing that does not fold, but rather is situated straight across your fireplace opening. The vineyard style screen described above is one of these. Both a folding screen and a straight screen would be ideal for most any fireplace, what you should choose depends on what you think would look best in your home.
