Know All About Fireplace Safety
Fireplaces and other hearth products are beautiful, functional additions to any home, but they can pose a risk when not used and attended to with proper vigilance. Learn more about the importance of fireplace safety and the steps you can take to ensure safe fireplace operation in your home.
Keep It Clear
These heating appliances reach extremely high temperatures while in operation and during cool-down. Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other combustibles away.
Secure Safety Barrier
Ensure that a safety screen is securely in place when your hearth is in operation to reduce the risk of potential burns. Missing a screen? Find out how to get your screen here.
