Open Hearth
Rugs Hearth – Safety And Style
It’s cold outside and getting into the warmth of the home is first on the list. Once in the door the next stop is in front of the fireplace where the rugs are at the hearth. These rugs keep our feet off the cold floor and protect our homes as a first line of defense from errant sparks and embers. Beauty and safety are possible with a rug in front of the hearth.
Safety: While it is important to keep our homes warm we want to be safe also. The primary line of defense for an open fireplace is a screen and hearth rugs that are fire resistant. This is important on so many levels. The fireplace screen will help to knock down the majority of flying embers and a fire resistant rug will reduce damage to the floor and possible fires. Hearth rugs of fiberglass are very easy to find and are one of the safest types to use. The rug actually melts and does not burn. Granted, you may have a spot to work with but that is infinitely better than a three alarm fire.
Fireplace Décor: Safety is first, but you can have a heath fireplace rug that matches a present room décor or set the tone for a change. Hearth rugs do come in a couple different styles. Half circle hearth rugs for a close fit to the front of the hearth brick area or a braided oval shape. The oval has been a staple for decades. Often in older times they were made as a rag rug. However, unless made of wool, these are not fire resistant. Wool is another style of rugs hearth. While considered fire resistant they protect by not breaking into flame. The wool will smother the ember. This will leave a char spot on the rug but it can be worked out and is still far better than a fire in the house.
Buying a Fireplace Hearth Rug: Cost might be an issue, but most of the commercial rugs are cost efficient and can add safety to your home. Select a room decor complementing rug and enjoy the new look. Enjoy a warm and comfortable home with your fireplace.
Have Cozy and Safe Warmth.
