It is essential to have a fireplace screen in your fireplace in order to add appeal to your simple house. Classic and modern designs of fireplace screen are available so you can choose the kind of screen best for your fireplace. If you want to add a classic appeal to your fireplace, you may want to purchase a vintage fireplace screen and if your home has a modern look, there are a lot of contemporary designs to choose from. When it comes to safety, a screen for your fireplace is necessary as it protects your house from fire sparks. You have to make sure that your home is safe and it is best to take caution in order to protect your loved ones. Though having a fireplace is a good thing, you need to consider certain thing such as safety precaution because the first thing you want to do is to prevent fire from happening.

The benefit to a ventless gas log fireplace outdoors is convenience and cost. The process of building proper ventilation and a chimney can often double the expense of custom fireplaces indoors or outside. Convenience is the ability to create a perfect flame pattern as easily as turning on a barbeque grill. Many gas log fireplaces have complex valve options that allow variable remote controls that alter flame height, on/off remotes, wall switches and thermostatic controllers that turn the fireplace on and off based on the temperature read at the thermostat. I do not recommend any of these valves in your backyard. A manual safety pilot kit has a standing pilot light that stays on always. As long as the pilot is burning, the fireplace can be controlled with a simple control knob. A couple of decorative ceramic pinecones or wood chunks hide the controls. Remotes, wall switches, thermostatic controls and other valves use batteries. Even a gas log fireplace that is under an overhang will be affected by moisture in the air. Here in Florida where humidity is tremendous, a battery operated valve will corrode within a year in most backyards.
