Professional fireguard fitting - secure wall-fixed guards to keep children safe from open fires, log burners, and hot surfaces. Can't be pushed over or moved.
### Fires Fascinate Children
Flames, warmth, glowing embers - **fires are irresistible to curious children**. Burns happen fast. A proper fireguard creates a barrier they can't breach.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Wall-fixed guards are the only option for real safety. Freestanding guards get pushed over or moved aside by determined toddlers.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fireguard fitting in Newton Abbot
Why does a fireguard need wall-fixing?
Freestanding guards can be pushed over or moved by determined children. Wall-fixed guards stay put. This is especially important for log burners and open fires.
What about log burner guards?
Log burners get extremely hot - the guard needs to create distance from the whole stove, not just the door. We fit guards that surround the entire unit.
At what age is this needed?
From crawling age until children understand fire danger - usually around 5-6. Some keep guards longer for peace of mind.
Do I need a fireguard if I have a glass fire?
Glass gets hot - very hot. Children touching the glass can be seriously burned. A guard is still recommended for any fire that produces heat.
