Professional hearth guard fitting - surround the fireplace area with padding to protect children from hard stone edges and hot surfaces. Burns and bumps both addressed.
### Hard Edges, Hot Surfaces
Hearths are designed for adults. **Stone edges at toddler head height, hot surfaces after fire use.** Hearth guards create a padded barrier around the whole danger zone.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Even unlit fireplaces have hazardous hearths - the stone edges cause head injuries when toddlers stumble and fall.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hearth guard fitting in Exmouth
What's a hearth guard vs fireguard?
A fireguard stops access to the fire itself. A hearth guard cushions the hearth surround - the stone or brick edges that children fall onto. Different hazards, both important.
Do I need both?
If you have an active fire, yes - fireguard for the flames, hearth guard for the hard edges. If the fire isn't used, hearth guard alone may suffice for the bump hazard.
Will it protect from hot hearths?
Hearth guards cushion against bumps. If your hearth gets very hot from radiated heat, you may need heat-resistant padding or barriers.
How is it secured?
Usually adhesive or weighted systems that stay put without drilling into your hearth. Removable later without damage.
