Heat Shields + Fireplace Screens

Heat shields and fireplace screens are essential for any home with a fireplace or wood stove. Heat shields protect nearby walls, floors, or furniture from excessive heat, preventing warping, scorching, or fires. They are made from non-combustible materials such as metal or heat-resistant tile, and many are designed with an air gap to improve insulation and heat deflection. Heat shields can improve heating efficiency by directing more warmth into the room instead of allowing it to escape into surrounding structures.

Fireplace screens serve as a protective barrier between the fire and the living space, keeping sparks, embers, and ash from landing on the floor or nearby furnishings. Available in various styles—from simple mesh panels to decorative wrought iron designs—fireplace screens can add both safety and aesthetic appeal. The screens can be freestanding for easy repositioning or fixed in place for permanent protection.
