A proper fireguard not only enhances the aesthetic of your room but also serves as a crucial safety measure.  While personal preference ultimately determines your choice, here are some factors to consider when making a decision:

    Safety - Think about the main reason you need a guard. For young children and pets you may need a taller or wider guard or ones that can be fixed to the wall. 

    Size - Think about the space available, the guard needs to be far enough from the heat but also not overshadow and be safe enough for your needs. 

    Style - With our easy to navigate filters you can conveniently browse the style for you.
