Economy Firebacks

Our steel economy firebacks are a cheaper alternative to our high quality reflective firebacks. They shield the lower portion of your fireplace's back wall from excessive ember heat. This is the area where most fireplaces become damaged after several years of steady use. A fireback is usually an optional component in correctly built masonry fireplaces however, firebacks are required in all pre-fabricated, condominium style, and metal units when using a Wall of Fire grate. All economy firebacks are made from 3/8" thick shatter-proof steel and are 10" tall. Fireback feet are permanently attached.
Custom sizes are available. Call 1-800-274-7364 for details.
Important:
Be sure that the fireback you purchase is no wider than the back wall of your fireplace to ensure compatibility.

Very important:
A fireback should NOT be used as a substitute for repair to a badly damaged fireplace back wall. Have your fireplace inspected by a professional mason or chimney sweep every year to check for any integrity issues. Never use a fireplace that is not in good or safe working order.
All firebacks qualify for free shipping within the contiguous USA!
Product appearance and finish:
The fireback you receive may either be black (painted) or bare steel. This will be the case until we exhaust our stock of painted firebacks. Afterwards, all firebacks will be bare steel and have a metallic finish. We are doing this because the paint burns off during the first fire and has proven itself to be completely unnecessary.

Note: Our economy firebacks offer protection to the lower back of your fireplace only. Unlike our reflective backs, they will not significantly enhance the heat output of the fire due to their reduced surface area. They are intended to be a lower cost alternative to our high-quality reflective firebacks.
