Fireplace Bars

Fireplace Bars are fire fronts that are fixed to Cast Iron Fireplaces and are suitable for use with Solid Fuel or gas. All are £45 each

Please note that polished and highlighted surfaces will tarnish if used with solid fuel

It is extremely unlikely that replacement hook on bars will fit original fireplaces without some slight work to the fittings. You will need to find a metalworker who can attach them safely
