Fireplace screen

Kitty Galore — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 00:29:27 GMT

love that fireplace screen . Do you think it can be used in front if a gas fireplace as well as a regular wood burning which I'm sure it was Intended for ? Would love it but wondered if it would look silly with a gas fireplace .

@Kitty Galore Why would it look silly? We use log sets in gas fireplaces.

@Kitty Galore

Oh, I see. You mean you already have a glass screen in front of your fire. I can see where that might look a little odd. I don't have any screen in front of my gas fireplace.

@Marsha2003. Yes that's why I'm thinking it wouldn't work. Our fireplace e is all sealed with glass.

I have a gas fireplace with glass in front and I am definitely getting this screen. I just think it adds the perfect touch, instead of looking at just the glass. It will add the perfect decorative touch while still being able to see the flames. I think you should give it a try. I have one of Valerie's fireplace screens from about 10'years ago I think. It has a crackled Finish with flowers on it. You could not see through it, so it had to be removed when the fireplace was lit. I still have that in front of my fireplace. I use it all summer and fall or until I start using the fireplace. That's why I jumped on this one. It will really add the perfect elegant touch to a gas fireplace with glass in front. In fact I honestly think it would look better than looking at the plain glass. It will jaz it right up. Those are my thoughts anyway. After I get I get it I will post a review as to how it worked out for me.

When I have a fire in my gas fireplace I always leave the glass doors open. I want the heat in the room, not up the chimney.

@Kachina624. Our glass doors are fixed they do not open . The heat comes through the vents on the fireplace.

@Lucylu12. I'd love to hear how it works for you . Please post once you get it. I am going to keep it in mind .

Kitty Galore, love that name. Will do. Our glass is permanently fixed in the fireplace and the heat comes through the vents also. I have high hopes of this looking lovely.

If somebody gets the screen I hope they give a review and show some pics! I am really giving this one some thought.

My gas fireplace is two sided and has a mesh screen on both sides. I think I like the mesh look in my kitchen but I am trying to go more formal in my living room. I already googled how to remove the mesh screen (who am I kidding...this will be coming to my house I just know it.)

@Patriot3. I never much thought about it before now . I really do want the fireplace screen so now I do wish the glass opened. I'm hoping that it will still look great even with the fixed glass. I may just take the leap and order ! Were you do thinking of getting the screen?

I just don't think it will look right and don't want to take a chance and have to pack it up and send back, so I'll pass on it. Good luck

Got my fireplace screen today. Tore open that box like it was Christmas Morning. It came packaged beautifully. I absolutely love it. It actually is better than I anticipated. I thought with the shipping $7.50 it may be flimsy. That is not the cast. Beautiful wroght iron done in a gorgeous antique bronze, but it could actually pass for black. There is no assembly, other than to put the crystals on. Now, I said I have a gas fireplace with fixed glass that does not open and it added just the right touch to bring my fire place to life. Instead of looking at plain glass you have this wonderful wroght iron scroll design. Went from boring to quite elegant looking, had my hubby turn the gas back on to the fireplace to see how the crystals looked. It is so magical, seeing the flames and twinkle on the glass crystals. I just love it. It is so worth giving this a try if you are thinking about it. I am a happy camper.
