Fireplace Screens - Installing A Three-Panel Screen Designs

To make demonstration how to perk up your fireplace screen, let’s cite some samples – beginning with a three-panel folding fireplace screens, which is a design that features a center panel that is on average – 30 inches wide and two side panels ranging from 8 to 12 inches wide. Typically, these fireplace screens is put on the hearth and the side panels are angled back to either side of the opening. The fireplace screen is then stabilized by the two side panels. Folding the side panels back to either side of the opening will allow the screen to project around 4 inches onto your hearth giving it the stability to stand on its own. A 10 inch wide side panel will give you around a 5 inch projection and so on. Make sure you have the proper depth on your hearth to accommodate the projection of the screen.
