Winter weather is starting to take hold all across the country, even in the Southern regions. Those of you in the Northern half of the U.S. have been putting up with unfavorable weather for quite some time now.
This weather often finds us taking drastic measures to keep warm in it or avoid it altogether; whatever it takes not to sucumb to its cruel grasp.
The most common way to combat winter weather at home is to stoke up the fireplace if you have one.
As eagerly as you try to protect yourself from the winter elements, it is just as important to shield both you and your home from stray embers that may pop unpredictably.
Most fireplaces are installed with the heavy chains hanging to serve as a shield, but they can be an eye sore and don’t do much to make your fireplace an appealing destination.
The good news is, that’s a quick fix. Consider purchasing an external fireplace screen like the Large Black Panel Screen with Doors by Uniflame.
This fireplace screen has a black wrought iron finish and is almost 3-feet high and over 3 and a half feet wide; large enough to cover most fireplaces.
Be sure to protect yourself from all winter weather hazards, both inside and outside of your home.
