For fireboxes that do not have an existing mesh curtain rod, simply measure the overall height of the firebox and the necessary deductions will be made for the curtain rod and bottom clearances.

Each rod has bent ends with punched holes, allowing the rod to be secured to the sides of the fireplace.Ĭalculating the right height of the fireplace mesh curtains is very important as it prevents gaps that allow sparks to escape from the fireplace.

One of the following mounting options can be used to install mesh curtains in both masonry and prefabricated fireplaces. Fireplace mesh curtains are installed inside the opening of a fireplace using mounting hardware such as rods and rings. For example, if your fireplace width is 30" total, you will want to order two 24" wide mesh panels. The hanging wire curtains should have a standard 40% fullness, meaning the mesh should have extra width to create a natural drape effect within the fireplace opening. The wire curtains come in either one single or two equally sized sliding panels, similar to fabric curtains for a window. Our woven wire curtains come in 1/4" standard mesh or 3/16" mini mesh, which refers to the size of the holes in the mesh curtain. Hanging fireplace mesh screen curtains are made out of durable steel, stainless steel, or metal wire that has been woven together to create a wire curtain featuring a metal curtain pull. Available in various decorative designs, sizes, and shapes, fireplace screens and mesh curtains will give your fireplace a decorative touch while acting as a safety barrier. Mesh fireplace curtains and screens contain the sparks and flying embers in the fireplace while preventing people and pets from accidental burns. Installing a fireplace mesh curtain or screen allows everyone to safely enjoy the warmth and beauty of a gas or wood-burning fire in a fireplace.
