Rusty Fireplace Screen
We moved to another house two months ago. The house is about 20 years old. The screen on the fireplace is rusted! I have never seen anything like it. Has anyone seen this? What can you do about it?

Is the fireplace wood or gas? With gas, I would suggest getting an estimate from a fireplace expert to give you the cost of replacement. If it is wood, is it the insert that is rusted or the mesh screen. If it is the mesh screen, I would buy rust proof, heat proof aerosol paint and spray paint it WHEN THE FIRE IS NOT ON!!!!
