Complete the authentic feel of the coziest place in your home with a beautiful cast iron fireback. This simple cast iron fireback not only lends a statement of beautiful style to your fireplace, it prolongs the life of your fireplace by protecting the firebrick from deterioration due to high heat in the firebox. Cast iron firebacks also serve to make your fireplace more efficient by absorbing heat from the fire and radiating it out into the room. Firebacks are meant to rest on the floor of the fireplace, however fireback boots may be used to hold the fireback upright and to raise it off the hearth floor if extra height is desired.
