Welyn Gold Fireplace Screen

This screen is crafted from hand-forged, hammered iron, a material prized for its exceptional durability and natural heat resistance. Unlike lightweight alternative metals, the weight of solid iron provides superior stability, ensuring the screen remains firmly in place. The hand-forging process also ensures that each piece has a unique, artisanal texture that stands up beautifully to the high-temperature environment of a functional hearth.

Yes, this single-panel design is engineered for stability with integrated feet that provide a 6.5-inch depth. Because it is constructed from heavy, hand-forged iron, it offers more resistance to tipping than lighter mesh or aluminum alternatives. For households with active pets or high traffic, the weight and wide-set base of this screen provide a reliable and secure barrier for your fireplace.

Metal screens like this one are designed to protect your flooring and home from sparks while still allowing the majority of radiant heat to flow into the room. Unlike solid glass doors, which can block or reflect heat back into the chimney, the open-work branch design ensures you can enjoy the warmth of the fire while maintaining a stylish safety boundary.

To ensure optimal safety and coverage, a fireplace screen should ideally overlap your fireplace opening by at least one to two inches on the top and both sides. This screen measures 47 inches wide and approximately 32 inches high. Before purchasing, measure your fireplace opening to ensure these dimensions provide the necessary overlap to catch stray sparks and embers effectively.

To preserve the brilliance of the gold leaf finish, our experts recommend regular dusting with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Because gold leafing is a delicate decorative application over the iron, you should avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, glass sprays, or abrasive pads, which can dull or scratch the finish. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with very mild soap may be used, followed immediately by drying with a soft towel.

Yes, this item requires light customer assembly. While our full-service delivery team handles the setup of most large furniture pieces, decorative accents like fireplace screens typically require the attachment of the support feet by the owner. The process is straightforward and ensures the screen is perfectly leveled for your specific hearth surface.
