Welcome to The Fireback Company

We supply quality cast iron firebacks for open fires at competitive prices. From traditional to contemporary and at a range of sizes, we are sure you will find what you are looking for. Unlike most of our competitors you can buy directly from this site and have your fireback delivered to your door.

Traditionally firebacks are heavy, black, cast iron. Their original purpose was two fold, firstly to protect the wall from the intense heat of inglenook open fires, and secondly to radiate the heat back in to room rather than straight up the flue or chinmey. Fire efficiency can be increased by up to as much as 50% by using one of our products. With increased thicknesses, radiative effects will be longer and softer. Original users would have been royalty and the aristocracy. Decorations and heraldry were often used to enhance the look and feel of the fireplace and to personalise this functional accessory.

They can be set on the floor and just leaned against the back wall, but more commonly they are secured by placing them in supporting braces which keep the fireback from moving. They can also be simply hung on the wall or above a stove for decoration. Even for non functioning fireplaces this addition can make a fantastic feature piece.

If you fancy improving the heating source, are renovating a new home or just wanting a change, using one of our cast iron products is the perfect way to enhance the look of all open fireplaces. We have contemporary, traditional and classical cast iron firebacks for open fires, all at amazingly low prices.

Energy Benefits of Burning Wood

Burning wood is a low carbon option. The carbon dioxide that is produced when burning is approximately the same as that absorbed by the tree over the time it is growing. Admittedly there will be some carbon footprint in the creation, delivering and administration of getting the wood to your home, but as long as the tree is grown in a sustainable area, i.e. a project where new trees are grown continually then it means the emissions are much lower than that of fossil fuels. http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Generate-your-own-energy/Wood-fuelled-heating

A good point made by the Energy Saving Trust is that 'Burning wood can be a convenient means of disposing of waste that might otherwise be sent to a landfill site.'

Decorating Ideas for Winter

With so many wonderful papers and paints out there at the moment, we took a bit of time investigating our favourite decorating site ‘Farrow and Ball’. We were looking for colours and wallpapers that would complement one of the main features throughout the winter months, we found a fantastic colour scheme already picked out called SALVAGE, we think it would look great with many of the patterned wallpapers they have available.
