Welcome to our range of traditional fireguards for wood burning stoves. Our fireguards offer authentic protection for your wood burning stove as well as your open fire. Inspired by beautiful and practical examples from the past, we've developed a new range of two designs that will enhance any style of hearth. We've created the Curved fireguard for the smaller fireplace, and the Straight fireguard where a larger solution is required. Both our traditional fireguard and nursery fireguard designs are handmade by us from hot dip zinc galvanized steel, and available in aged zinc or black painted finish. With historical provenance and attention to detail, our designs are robust, easy to use and can also be made to measure.
The top rail is made from a solid steel, convex bar to ensure that no sharp edges exist when moving or lifting the fireguard. This top rail provides the rigidity and design detailing that sets it apart from cheaper models.
The crimped and woven wirework ends are knuckled over the inner framework to create a very neat and attractive edge. This edging detail shows what can be achieved when undertaken by a highly skilled wireworker.
Our diamond latticework has attractive proportions and must be woven and tied very carefully to bind the wirework to the frame before hot dip galvanizing. Fettling is then done to remove any surplus zinc deposits
Solid steel feet are discreetly welded to the underside of the bottom rail before hot dip zinc galvanizing. These feet are a superior solution to the cut bars often used on inferior fire guards and fire screens.
Straight Fireguards
The Straight fireguard is inspired by the beautiful Victorian nursery guard that was once made in Britain and became popular for generations. Our version is based on this design and will again stand the test of time.

The Straight fireguard is large enough to span wider openings yet doesn't interfere with the frequent task of feeding the fire with fuel. The top rail is gently convex to eliminate sharp edges and provide a tactile surface. The diamond wirework front panel follows the curving corners round both sides, and is discreetly welded in place within the top and bottom rails. Solid steel feet are welded to the underside of the bottom rail to provide balance and stability, allowing the fire guard to sit lightly on the hearth.

Curved Fireguards
The Curved fire guard is the ultimate result of form following function. Any fireplace would benefit from this simple design being an ideal shape to sit on a traditional hearth or in front of a contemporary stove.

The Curved fire guard has a convex top rail that echoes the curving shape of the fire guard. The handwoven wirework is knuckled around the edges of the framework which in turn is welded within the top & bottom rails. The diamond wirework intersections are hand tied at intervals to the vertical rods in the traditional manner. Solid steel feet are welded to the underside of the bottom rail to provide balance and stability and create a light footprint on the hearth.
