"The Classic Elegance of
  Glass Panel Fireplace Screens..."

The fireplace screen was originally created to serve two purposes.

It was meant to stop drafts when the fireplace was not lit. The more important function was to stop the sparks from landing on expensive rugs, wood, and starting a fire. 

The fireplace screen also let heat enter the room, but kept the home's residents from burning while they enjoyed a quiet evening toasting by the fireplace.

This function changed as fireplaces evolved.

Now, fireplaces have fans that blow out the heat. This givesyou the chance to enjoy the flame through a glass panel fireplace screen while you receive the full benefits of the heat.

Picturesque Glass Fireplace Screens

The glass panel fireplace screen is also an excellent addition to a gas or electric fireplace.  It moderates the heat, but still allows the picturesque and hypnotic flames enhance the warmth or romanticism of the room.

Fireplace glass screens are constructed of heat resistant glass. Recent developments and engineering techniques have improved the glass so that it does not become covered with soot. 

Fireplace glass screens are the new 'classic' design. They were created to enhance the room's beauty, but not overpower the room's design.  A growing favorite is picture frame fireplace screens.

Fireplace screens and gas logs are a wonderful new development.  The fireplace glass screens are a wonderful addition to any room that would not normally accommodate a fireplace.  Apartments, lofts, suburban homes are some of the residences that now incorporate fireplace screens and gas logs.

Gas heating is becoming more popular.  The fireplace screens and gas logs used in today's home are clean burning, generate low cost heat, and add beauty to any room. 

Fireback
The fireback is the secret to a heat producing hearth. In years past the fireback was a centerpiece of any hearth and home. The cast iron fireback not only protects the back wall of your fireplace, but it also reflects heat from the back of the fire into the room.

Bedroom Fireplace

Many people are now adding fireplaces to rooms like the master bedroom. This is an economic and beautiful addition to a master bedroom. Glass fireplace screens and gas logs remove the fear of fire, while adding a romantic glow to the room. They also offer an economic alternative to heating the room when it is not in use.

Many homes heat the master bedroom to a comfortable level, even though they only occupy the room nine to ten hours out of twenty-four. This leaves fourteen hours when the room is wasting utilities and increasing the utility bill.

A pellet stove fireplace usually features glass doors for spark protection, rather than a glass paneled screen.

The electric or gas fireplace can be set to turn on just before you turn in for the night.  The glass fireplace screen allows the flame to cast relaxing muted tones around the room, enhancing the stress relief of the master bedroom. 

The warmth relaxes the muscles. Turning the fireplace off about two hours before the alarm goes off saves on the utility bill, and cools the room enough that it is easier to wake up, but not so cool that dressing is uncomfortable.

There is nothing more beautiful than watching the flames flicker through a glass fireplaces screen, and nothing more practical than matching glass fireplace screens and gas logs.

  It's so easy to breath new life into a room by adding a beautiful fireplace screen,
