St. Louis Fireplace Heat Shields
Nothing is more comforting on a chilly night than to cozy up by your fireplace to the crackle and sizzle of hot flames. However, when we start a fire, we take for granted what actually happens in our fireplace and chimney—we just assume that our living room gets warm and that all the smoke rises out of the house. There is a lot more going on, though!
One key thing to remember about your fireplace is that brick and mortar is susceptible to the constant heating and cooling that happens with starting fires. This can cause wear as the brick shrinks and cracks over time, and you may end up needing to get your fireplace repaired. However, there is a way to protect your fireplace while making your home warmer and more energy efficient at the same time. This can be done by installing a fireplace heat shield!
Increase radiant heat by up to 30% with a fireplace heat shield
With a heat shield, also known as a heat reflector, the back wall of your fireplace will be exposed to approximately 1/3 less heat when you start a fire. This extra heat instead gets reflected back into your living room, where it should go! The reflected heat helps to make your room warmer while protecting the lifespan of the bricks and masonry that make up your fireplace.
