A fireplace fireback is a very important accessory for a fireplace and can also help reduce your energy costs.

Fireplace Firebacks were invented in the early 16th Century. Initially, fireback manufacturing was a sideline business of foundries, whose main work was casting cannon. The cannon foundries started fires against the wall instead of in the center of their workshops. They needed a contraption to protect the walls of their workshops against the intense heat generated in their furnaces. The wall was subject to extreme heating and quick cooling and as a result, the wall would eventually crumble. They relied on firebacks to help preserve the integrity of their fireplaces or the hearths.

Firebacks in the domestic fireplace:

Domestic fireplaces are the epicenter of the home. The benefit of having a fireback is that it will reflect heat into the room instead of absorbing it.

The fireplace fireback maximizes the heat output of your fireplace by:

* Radiation: Whatever heat the fireplace fireback absorbs, it radiates towards the front.

* Reflection: Light and heat from the fire are reflected by the surface of fireplace firebacks into the living area of your home. In effect, the fireplace firebacks increase the efficiency of your fireplace by as much as 50% which means that you are warming your home more at half the price.

A fireplace fireback will enhance the beauty of your fireplace. As a sculptural accent, a fireplace fireback lends visual warmth and elegance to your fireplace at anytime of the year.
