How Wire Mesh for Fireplace Screens Works

Wire mesh for fireplace screens is an excellent choice for improved safety. Fireplace screens, also known as fire screens, are an important wire mesh application in fire safety by inserting into your fireplace opening to help guard your home from sparks leaping out of the fireplace and igniting your carpet or furniture. The most commonly used metal mesh specification is our 8×8 mesh .028″ wire. This size of mesh provides the ideal combination of visibility, heat control, and spark protection.

To complete the fireplace mesh screen, the metal mesh should be mounted in a frame. We offer wire mesh for fireplace screens in several different sizes and a variety of different alloys, including plain steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. The different alloy options for wire mesh make it easier to find a fireplace screen that matches your home decor.

Wire Mesh Application: Fireplace Screens

Protect Both Ends of Your Chimney with Wire Mesh for Fireplace Screens

Your fireplace isn’t the only place to worry about when it comes to fire safety. In addition to fireplace screens, placing a metal mesh screen over your chimney can help block any sparks that drift up the flue. On a windy day, a spark can easily rise through your chimney and start a fire on your roof or float to nearby dry vegetation. In some locales, a chimney cap may actually be required. Our metal mesh can be used over your chimney for additional safety.
