Over the years, the use of a fireplace screen has changed very little. Fireplaces are not used today as they once were. Fireplaces are no longer the main source of heat and I do not know anyone who uses theirs for cooking. However, the fireplace screen still plays a vital role in today's fireplace.

Fireplace screens are a must for all that use their fireplace. Luckily, there are several added benefits to having this necessity.

Safety
First and foremost the fireplace screen is needed for safety. You must protect your family and home from flying sparks and embers. An unprotected fireplace can be disastrous. The damage can range from putting burns in the floor to burning the entire house.

The second part of safety is keeping children and pets out of the fire itself. A fireplace screen will provide a barrier between your child's roaming hands and the fire. It will also keep your pets out of the fire or ashes when the fireplace is not in use.

Decor
Fireplace screens can be absolutely beautiful. There is a huge selection of fireplace screens to choose from to go along with any style, color scheme, or theme you are trying to achieve.

Whether you want a simple screen to just blend in, a decorative brass fireplace screen with fancy scroll work, or anything in between, you can turn your hearth into a thing of beauty.

The fireplace has long been the focal point or whichever room it was in. You can easily turn an ordinary looking fireplace into a show piece with the addition of a fireplace screen, matching fireplace tools, and a matching log rack. At this point, the fireplace will also be functional.

Disbursing Heat
This is one of the benefits that is overlooked or unknown. The entire fireplace screen will heat up. This allows a uniform heat to be emitted from the front. This actually makes the fireplace heat much more efficiently, disbursing heat evenly through out the room.

The benefits of a fireplace screen are great. Safety is the number benefit. Decor and disbursing heat are just an added bonus.
