Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Can my child get their hand through the bars of the fireguard?

The bars are spaced 50mm apart, which is compliant with safety standards to prevent children from reaching through. However, it’s always advisable to supervise children around fireplaces. 

2. How far from the burner should the fireguard be?

It’s recommended to maintain a minimum clearance of 300mm from the front of the heater and 250mm from the sides. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific burner. ​

3. Do the fireguards get hot?

Yes, but not hot enough to cause burns, provided the fireguard is installed correctly around the hearth and not directly on it. ​
