A beautiful custom fireplace adds romantic charm, rustic appeal, and sophistication appealing to future homebuyers and guests. They warm a room while offering a centerpiece to gather around with family and friends to relax and enjoy. Custom fireplaces give you the option of creating an eye-catching piece to match the rustic or elegant style in your home.

If your fireplace is not enclosed, it’s important to create a barrier between the fire and your living room with fireplace screens. With custom fireplaces, you want to avoid choosing just any screen. You need a screen to fit unique measurements and add to the appeal of your fireplace. Consider these tips on choosing a screen for your fireplace.

Measure The Right Size

When choosing custom screens, accurate measurements will ensure your screen isn’t too large or too small for your fireplace. Use a tape measure to measure the width of your fireplace at the opening on the top and bottom. Continue by measuring the length of both sides. Always choose the larger measurement if they differ.

Arched fireplaces should be measured just as a square or rectangle opening, but include measurements for both sides as well as the top of the arch. Custom screens can be designed to fit any size opening.

Choose A Custom Design

This is the fun part. A fireplace screen can be designed to create an additional piece of art in your living room. You have the option of choosing moveable screens or adding screen doors to your fireplace for added convenience and an extra level of protection for children or pets.

Improve the aesthetics of your home by designing a rustic, elegant, or traditional piece to match your space. Expert blacksmith designers can help you determine the design or style you prefer and create a hand forged artistic metal fireplace screen to match perfectly to your needs and the style of your home.

Add Custom Accessories

Custom fireplaces and screens would not be complete without custom metal fireplace accessories. Match the design of your metal fireplace tools or wood rack to the same hand forged style of your fireplace or screen. Custom, handmade fireplace tools and accessories complete your fireplace offering you the tools you need with great metalwork and design.

When choosing new screens for your fireplace, record accurate measurements and choose a custom design to fit the shape and size of your fireplace. Custom designs add an eye-catching centerpiece to a room while contributing to the style of your home. By adding custom accessories, you’ll complete the look for a beautiful fireplace setting.
