FAQs

A fireback is a heavy plate of cast iron placed at the back of an open hearth to protect the masonry wall from intense heat and to radiate warmth back into the room.

Traditional firebacks were crafted using cast iron, poured into sand moulds impressed with carved wooden patterns, royal crests, or figural scenes.

Authentic period pieces typically feature the rough texture of sand casting, heavy weight, natural oxidisation, and motifs consistent with historical eras rather than modern machine-tooled precision.

A fireback can be positioned upright inside a working fireplace, or mounted against a wall as a focal point in a living space to add industrial texture and historical depth.

Cast iron should be kept dry to prevent active rusting, gently cleaned with a soft brush to remove soot, and occasionally treated with a light coat of grate polish or neutral oil for protection.
