To ensure the safety of your loved ones and your property, it's important to invest in a fire guard. But with so many options available, how do you choose the perfect fire guard for you? The Fireside Store will guide you through the process of selecting the right fire guard that suits your needs and preferences.

 Safety

Never compromise on safety. With The Fireside Store you don’t have to! Check the size is correct by following our guide below. Look for durable and sturdy materials that will allow optimal safety such as steel and iron. Consider why you need a fire guard is it simply to protect the floor or do you also have pets and children? The style of mesh needed or how close bars are will also be important to review.

 Size

Consider the size of your fireplace and the room you have available. Measure the size of your fireplace. You want to make sure that the guard you choose is wide enough to cover the entire opening of the fireplace. Measure the width and height of the fireplace and look for a fire guard that matches those dimensions. We have included the height in the title of the guard and clearly marked the dimensions in centimeters and inches so you can easily spot this.

Style

We offer a wide variety of styles, from traditional more period style designs to contemporary styles. Consider the overall aesthetic of your home and choose a fireguard that complements it. Whether you prefer a sleek and minimalist design, or a more ornate and decorative style think about the style and tone you want to convey with your interior. Remember your home is a reflection of yourself!

 Materials and Finishes

Most fire guards are made from metal but of course there are many types of metal and a wide range in durability. We only use high quality materials in a variety of finishes. Again, consider the finish that complements the other elements of your home. 

Ease Of Use

Choose a fire guard that is easy to install and remove. Look for features such as foldable panels or a hinged design that allows for easy access to the fireplace. This will make it more convenient for you to use and maintain your fireplace.

Budget

Investing in a high-quality fire guard is a small price to pay for the safety of your home and loved ones. We believe that safety and everyday essentials shouldn’t cost the earth, that’s why we offer affordable, robust, and safe fire guards.
