1/2" RF-6 Reflective Fireback 26" Wide

I purchased this fireback with the grate to use together. They work really well as far as keeping the fire going and radiating heat. My one issue is that the fireback comes in black to match the grate which is nice, but after the first fire, the paint was gone and the back is just metal. If this is the case, why not just ship it that way? and why is the grate still black? different paint?----------Grate Wall of Fire's response: Both units have the same coating on them. The fireback gets considerably hotter than the grate; 1,200 degrees or more. No coating is going to hold up to that so it burns off. The grate itself stays a bit cooler so the coating survives a bit better. You ask why we don't ship the fireback bare metal? Well, we want it to look nice when it's brand new. Same reason they paint the blades on new bulldozers and the buckets on excavators I guess. After the first day on the job, the paint is gone. That's just what you do, you make new stuff look nice and shiny.

I wanted to increase the heat from my fire place and I wanted to keep the authenticity of a wood burning fireplace. The grate wall of fire vertical grate increased the heat output from what was 3 feet from the fireplace to 14 feet. You can definitely feel the heat. It's also a lot less tending and poking to get and keep a fire going.

I bought the Gratewalloffire and purchased the reflective back at the same time. I thought about it for some time as the cost was not inexpensive, but having a 60 year old fireplace and having read the warnings on the website we opted to get it. NO REGRETS! Not only does it protect the back of the fireplace, but it becomes a heat reflector once the fire dies down. We are very pleased and it is well worth the money.

Great fireback. Protects my masonry wall quite well. Black paints seems fine even after dozens of fires, besides, who cares about the paint. My guess is it's just for corrosion protections during storage and shipping.

My wife an I are astounded at the difference your fire back has made in the performance of our fireplace! I can sit on our sofa which is approximately 10 to 12 feet from our fireplace and actually feel the heat radiating in the room. It's the best purchase I ever made! Thanks for making such great products. I have told everyone I know about your website.

I love these items. Bought a fireback and the vertical great for our fireplace that previously did not produce much heat. Wow was I surprised when I lit the fire. Lots of heat and very attractive. I would and have recommended this to many people. I hope they contact for a purchase.

This radiates heat into our whole seating area in our living room. It made such an improvement. Just wish it was taller.

I purchased the fireback and a vertical grate to see if this would solve our problem of our chimney not drawing properly. Every time we had a fire, our house would get smokey. The grate works great and the fireback is incredibly thick and heavy. The UPS driver could not believe how heavy it was! It does reflect heat into the room and I trust it is providing some protection to the brick. It is well made and study as an ox!

Works better than I anticipated. It protects the back of my fireplace and does radiate heat from the fire out into my room. It acts as a thermal mass rather than up the chimney. Paint burnt off after one use which is fine, now it’s a more reflective surface for radiative heat transfer. Only flaw is that both feet are welded on only one side. Would of like to have feet opposing each other

This fireback surpassed our expectations. Build quality looks to be very high and the design ensures that more heat is directed out into the room. We can easily feel the heat from 12-15 feet away when the fire is well established. Most importantly, the added protection our firebox gets from adding the fireback gives us needed peace of mind.

The fireback serves its purpose. Just wish it were a little taller.

I cannot believe it took me so long to find this. My only wish is that it was about 6" taller.

Excellent quality. this is my second fireback for a second fireplace. It really protects the bricks on the back wall which take the brunt of the heat.

Purchased a grate and back wall combination. Found it moderately hotter than a generic grate; my wife liked it but I had higher expectations. Then I started adding wood in front of the grate, and it was transformative. The heat output is amazing with a log in front of the grate, especially when it burns down to coals. Basically extends the coal bed six inches closer to the room. The heat is incredible.

I have an older fireplace that was losing porter between the bricks at the back. My chimney guy recommended a fire back. I chose this one to go with the M26 grate I purchased. It works well. Heavy so I don't have to worry about it falling over and puts out a lot of heat. I'm very satisfied.

We love this for our fireplace! It is the second one we have purchased - highly recommend! It helps to keep the fire going & makes the room warmer for sure.

I was skeptical, but it really does work. When used in tandem with the vertical fireplace grate, it really increases the radiant heat output.

Great quality! People do not worry about the paint. This plate does exactly what it is suppose to do.

This is a heavy hunk of steel I am glad I ordered this before trying out my M-6 Grate,,,you people rock I been buying on line for sometime now and you guys are the fastes I ever seen with a turn around when buying a item...Your company really has things together when it comes to a great company to deal with...Can't wait for winter to come...NOW Thank you so much ! P.S. I will let you know when I throw on my first fire...

Just what we needed. Heavy duty protection

I had no idea what a fireback was until sadly my inserts cracked 1 year after having them replaced. After some research I found this company. Your customer service was very patient and helpful. My fires burn hotter. Would recommend this product.

So very happy with our purchase. The Reflective Fireback has decreased wood usage and increased heat output. Very good quality as a matter of fact extraordinary! We did not think we could enjoy a fire any more and are so excited with this purchase!

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how this piece of metal radiated heat from our fireplace back into the room. There is a noticeable difference. I went with the 26" wide model, and they are right- this thing is heavy. Placed into the fireplace behind our existing standard grate, and it looks nice in there as well. Ours came in a bare metal finish, almost a bit of a patina on it. Highly recommended!!

Our fireplace has never produced so much heat! We’ve been able to stop turning the heat on during the day on our main floor bc this fireback projects a lot of heat. Our thermostat gets to 70 when we have a fire cranking. Highly recommend!

My fireplace is located in the interior of the house. The wall behind the fireplace which forms part of a hallway was extremely hot and presented a significant fire hazard. I used the fireback with a 3/4" thick ceramic fiber board behind it. The ceramic board is relatively soft so I was able to cut it to the shape of the fireback using a utility knife. When I burn a fire now, the wall behind the fire place gets only slightly warm; it is barely noticeable. There is no longer any safety issue whatsoever. The product is very well constructed, and it works far better than I thought it would. I highly recommend it.

Definitely a great product! Solidly made. Projects a lot of heat into the room, so much I have to keep the fire small. Glad I spent the money!

The half inch works perfectly in my shallow firebox. Excellent quality. Performs as promised.

The fireback and matching grate are great! We got rid of a clunky old insert with noisy fans and could only use logs about 15 inches max. Now we have a wide open fireplace with a beautiful fire, can burn logs larger than 24 inch and it pushes out at least as much heat if not more than the insert. The room is about 30 x 15 with a room off to the side. Once the fire gets going you can feel the heat coming off the firepace half way into the room. We love it, we have our fireplace back!

Works great! Does everything that the website claims. Worth the money.

Excellent quality protects my firebrick extremely well made. I already had the Wall of Fire which is also superb and works exactly as stated

These are awesome products!!! I have used the backplate with the Grate Wall of Fire in one home and just a backplate in another home that has gas logs. Both products maximizes your heat output. Couldn’t be happier!!!!

This is an excellent and necessary addition to our fireplace as we purchased it along with the grate wall of fire vertical grate The fireback offers protection to the back wall of our heatilator fireplace as well as additional radiant heat. Excellent product and very happy with the purchase of both the grate wall of fire vertical grate and fireback. Well worth the money!!

I wish I’d had this the last 25 years! Great product, really works and built to last. Timely delivery and looks great. I’ll probably order more for friends or family as gifts. Real energy saver . Thank you

This thing projects a ton of heat back into the room. It is noticeable for sure.

Great!! It really puts a lot more radiant heat into the room. Shipping was very fast.

I was amazed at how much more heat was coming out of the fireplace using this Fireback. Excellent quality and a attractive addition to the fireplace.

Steel simply heats ups and radiates into room as advertised. Measure your space carefully and your good to go .

This fire backing plate does a good job of projecting some of the fireplace heat into the living room while protecting the brickwork in our fireplace. Adds a classic look to the fireplace!

Amazing how something so simple can change the entire atmosphere of our family room. The amount of heat reflected back into the room from our fireplace with the reflective back has been amazing and it has the family to be very comfortable without blankets covering us. Product is heavy and sturdy. Love the attached feet that makes install easy. Fast turnaround time from order to product at doorstep.
