In earlier times, the well appointed fireplace was never considered complete unless it included a cast iron fireback. Today, the fireback's usefulness and charm have been rediscovered and are again at the center of the hearth and home.

This unique fireback illustrates the rule for finding Polaris, the North Star. The gaze of the moon shows how to use the pointer stars, Merak and Dubhe, in the bowl of the Big Dipper to find Polaris, the first star in the handle of the Little Dipper.

Product Features

Efficiency - Positioned against the back wall of a fireplace, a fireback protects the masonry of the back wall and radiates the heat of the fire forward. By reflecting light and heat from the fire out into the room, a fireback is a noticeable improvement to the hearth. This warmth is gained whether a fireback is used with wood fires or gas logs.
Protection - A cast iron fireback is still the best way to protect a hearth's back wall from decay. Despite advances in technology, the harsh rays of the fire render even modern refractory material vulnerable to damage and the likelihood of expensive repairs. A fireback will effectively prevent any further damage to the back wall.
Aesthetics - As a sculptural accent in what is usually the natural focal point of a home, a fireback lends visual warmth and interest to a hearth whether it's with a roaring fire or by soft candlelight.
