What is a "fire screen"?
A fire screen is a protective barrier placed in front of a fireplace to prevent sparks, ashes, or embers from escaping and potentially causing a fire. It is typically made from metal, glass, or mesh and serves both a safety and decorative purpose. Fire screens are commonly used in homes with open fireplaces to keep the area clean and reduce the risk of fires. They can also add aesthetic value to a room, often designed in various styles to complement the interior décor. Fire screens are easy to move and usually come with handles for convenience.
