Product Description
Hopewell Furnace was an early American industrial community that flourished in Pennsylvania from 1771 to 1883, and produced iron and iron objects for sale. It is now a part of the National Park System. Our fireback reproduces an original Hopewell trademark design. A fascinating piece of Americana for your fireplace.The fireback has been an indispensable part of the fireplace tradition in Europe since the 15th Century. The colonists carried this tradition to America and today you can add that touch of elegance and history to your own fireplace, while enhancing the beauty of the focal point of your room.While many people think of our Firebacks as being purely decorative, they also serve several very practical purposes. Solid cast iron firebacks absorb heat and then radiate the heat directly into the room, making the fireplace much more efficient at heating the house. They also protect firebrick, increasing the life of the firebox and helping to prevent further damage to an aging fireplace. Firebacks are designed to rest on the floor of the hearth, but fireback supports may also be used to hold the fireback upright and raise it off the hearth floor if extra height is desired.Our firebacks are solid cast iron with a matte black finish.All our firebacks are designed for use with gas logs or wood burning fireplaces

This thing ended up being even bigger and heavier than I imagined. We immediately noticed a difference in the heat that the fireplace threw off. Unfortunately it does get discolored from the heat and ash but I don't think it's possible to avoid that.

The product as shipped was fine. The problem is that the first fire I had in my fireplace after installation of the fire back produced a crack in it starting at the upper left hand corner and ending at the center. I am still using it hoping that the crack will not advance all the way to the bottom which will render the thing useless.

It looks great and has fine detail, and will protect the back wall of my fireplace, so we are liking it a lot. We've not noticed any more heat being put into the room though, but it might be more noticeable on colder days.
