Glass Screen Fireplace

Is it time to replace your current fireplace and want something to bring some atmospheric changes? A glass screen fireplace is a beautiful choice in any home regardless of decor. This versatile material allows you to safely enjoy the warmth and beauty of a crackling fire. You don't have to worry about embers or sparks reaching your floor, furniture or family because everything is enclosed by a sturdy panel of glass. While safety is the most important thing, it is not the only reason to choose this type of fireplace screen.


Glass enclosures are both beautiful and practical. You can find clear screens that look almost like there is no screen there at all. This is ideal for anyone who wants the primal beauty of their fire to be the showpiece. Then there are frosted glass enclosures that are translucent and add to the romantic glow that emanates from the flames. Of course you may want something more colorful, such as stained glass. When you choose a stained glass screen for your fireplace, you are choosing a work of art that has been laboriously created by a skilled craftsperson. There are all kinds of stained glass options, from pre-made classic designs to customized commission pieces made to your exact specifications.

For example, you could have your alumni logo and colors made into a fireplace screen. Some universities already sell these. Or, you could choose a particular design and have the artisan color the glass to match your interior decor. Stained glass ranges from traditional to modern in its design and coloration. Another trend you may want to consider is etched glass. Etched glass is exactly what it sounds like, glass that has been etched with a certain pattern or design. This can also be pre-made or customized depending on your preferences.

When shopping for a glass screen fireplace, consider all the options. While you could go to a home improvement superstore like Lowe's or Home Depot you may not find the selection you're looking for. Consider shopping online for your fireplace screens and accessories. You will find a world of selection and some retailers that offer free or reduced price shipping. No matter where you shop or what kind of glass you choose, you're sure to be pleased with your decision to add a safe and stylish glass enclosure to your fireplace.
