The Aetna Fireback has elegant scrolled flourishes in a symmetrical design on the bottom. Above the scrolls, a proud rooster is flanked by detailed plants. Throughout history roosters have served as a symbol for honesty, courage and strength, making it an excellent choice for the home. This fireback will increase the efficiency of your fireplace by reflecting some of the heat that is normally lost back into your room, and it protects the rear masonry wall of your fireplace from the intense heat of the fire. Your fireback should be large enough to protect the area of the rear wall directly behind the fire, but should not extend into the flue opening where it could choke off the draft or interfere with the damper. An area of 4 to 15-inches can be left on either side of the fireback. Inspired by the European ironwork of the past, the Aetna Fireback is handcrafted in the traditional hammer and anvil method using only the highest quality materials. It has been individually hand forged and hand welded to exacting specifications and is constructed with an innovative 'snap-on' method of construction which eliminates the use of screws and hardware. The Aetna Fireback is designed to give reliable service and enhance the enjoyment of your fireplace for years to come.
