3-Fold Fireplace Screens

You may want to consider a bowed screen for this application as they seem to work best for small fireplaces that are taller than wide. Any of the 3 fold screens can also be made as bowed screens.

3-Fold Fireplace Screen with Doors

3-fold screens with doors are a unique alternative. Unfortunately, most of them on the market will tip over when you open the doors. To overcome this, we either add legs to the front panel or mounting brackets to bolt the side panels to the floor. The example below shows the leg option.

Bowed Screen
Bowed Fireplace Screen Option #8: Hearth Creations Iron Age 4 Free Standing Mesh Door with Side Panels and Straps with Rivets in Burnished Copper. This can be made in just plain black without the straps and rivets at a lower price point. Shown with WI-AN17 Asania Andirons.
