Brass woven wire mesh is a popular item used as fireplace screen. As a copper alloy, Darby's brass woven wire mesh is comprised of 65% copper and 35% zinc. The inclusion of zinc is important, particularly for fireplace fabricators, because it provides added stiffness and rigidity, compared to its softer, copper wire mesh counterpart.

Golden yellow in color, brass woven wire mesh used in fireplace screen applications, according to many customers, is preferred when added into a rustic or traditional setting. Brass woven wire mesh offers a unique combination of sophistication and function and seems to be an ideal option for the customer who wants to create a look that is both distinctive and classic. Often times, customers will purchase this mesh for its extraordinary appearance and will use it to fabricate a customized, handmade fireplace screen to serve as a focal point in a home.
