I wanted you to see our wonderful Rumford!

Hello again Jim.
We are enjoying your fire screen (50 x 49) for our Rumford fire place. Last week I noticed rust forming on both the frame and screening. I hope the attached picture helps. I could not get a good picture of the rust on the screen. My records show that I ordered the screen on 11/5/18 as a Christmas present for my husband. Do you have a suggestion how this problem can be dealt with? Is this a common occurrence with the iron screens. Look forward to hearing back from you.

Advice from Pilgrim:
Hi Jim
There are a couple of ways to get rid of rust.
1. Sandblast the whole screen and paint it = Not necessarily something every home owner can do.
2. One can use a "rust spray reformer" to spay over the entire screen to prohibit new rust and blocks old rust from "growing". After the screen has been sprayed with a rust inhibitor they can spray paint the screen in a high temp spray paint.
Thanks,
Luba

Pilgrim does offer SS Newport screens but they are only 32" tall.
