Fireplace Screens

The difference would depend on the unit. It is largely a personal preference for wood pre-fab fireplaces. Although, doors can somewhat effect the burn time.

These are barrier screens that sit in front of the fireplace opening in the home. They are to arrest sparks and will not aid in keeping out pests. A chimney cap with a mesh screen will help with your issue.

We do not fabricate custom parts and are unable to build one-off fireplace screens from customer-provided measurements. For custom-sized pieces, we recommend consulting a local machine shop or sheet metal fabricator. However, we can create custom masonry fireplace doors to your opening size, with options for frame width from 30 to 45 inches and frame height from 21 3/4 to 31 3/4 inches, available in smoked chrome or stainless steel finishes. Most fireplace screens in our collection are free-standing and do not require fastening to the fireplace. They remain stable due to their own weight and design, often featuring thick, sturdy legs. To ensure stability, a multi-panel screen should be approximately the height of the fireplace opening with about 3 inches of overlap on each side. The center panel should be positioned at least 8 inches from the fireplace to prevent tipping. For single-panel screens, aim for at least 1 inch of coverage on the top and sides, with 3 inches being ideal. Another style is a hanging mesh curtain screen, which attaches to a rod mounted above the fireplace. The mesh should be 20 to 30 percent wider than the fireplace opening. Our Fireplace Screens Buyer's Guide provides more detailed information on all these aspects. The "Eclipse" model available is the Empire Decorative Eclipse Front with Barrier Screen, designed specifically for Empire Loft direct vent fireplaces, not masonry openings.
