Fire safety begins with fireplace screens. A fireplace screen offers protection for your flooring from flying sparks and many times a rolling log. Fireplace screens are both decorative and functional. Fireplace screens are available in many sizes to fit your fireplace. Screens come in many finishes to fit your home decor. The first thing to remember is that there is no standard size for a fireplace opening. Masonry fireplaces are all built by hand on site and no too masons build a fireplace alike. Standard fireplace openings average between 34 to 38 inches wide and 28 to 32 inches high. Your fireplace opening may or may not fall into the average. Most standard size fireplace screens are designed to fit openings around 38 inches wide and 31 to 32 inches high. This allows you to cover the opening as much as possible.
