Below you'll find some fire screen fit inspirations as well as some tips on measuring guidelines to help you achieve the look you are going for.
First, measure your firebox. Take the height and width measurements of your fireplace opening as shown in the figure above. Let us know if there are any unusual factors such as an elevation change between the firebox floor and hearth.
Next, think about the look you want. There are three main styles of fit: Just Outside the Box; Just Inside the Box; or Stylistic Fit, Not Dependent on the Box. See the fit below that matches your style and ways to get that perfect measurement.
#1: Fit Just Outside the Box:
To get this fire screen size, take your firebox measurements, then add 2" to the width and 1" to the height.
#2: Fit Just Inside the Box:
To get this fire screen size, take your firebox measurements, then subtract 2" from the width and 1" from the height.
#3: Stylistic Fit: Not Dependent on the Box
This is the easiest one yet- you have creative freedom to choose a fire screen that complements the overall aesthetic of the room, regardless of the shape or size of the fire box. As shown above, this client has plenty of room to stoke the embers from the top of the screen!
The size of your screen should not be a stressful decision. Go with the look that feels right to you, because that's all that matters when it comes to picking your fire screen size.
