Safetots Multi Panel Fire Surround Black 46D x 164W cm

Our fire surrounds are fixed to a wall or similar surface that restricts access to heat appliances by enclosing them on all vertical sides. They are made from metal, available in a different colours and are constructed using vertical poles.  As such, many families find these an aesthetically pleasing solution to enclosing a fire.

Important Information

Safetots’ fire surrounds come with a set of instructions to assist with installation. Please attach and position the surround according to these instructions.

POSITIONING YOUR FIRE SURROUND

There is no specific British or European Safety Standard for fire surrounds. The British Standard BS 8423:2010, for Fireguards (with a Top) for fires and heating appliances for domestic use, states that any part of the fireguard should be no closer than 300mm to any exposed burning fuel, heated elements or radiants. Safetots recommend that customers act with caution when positioning their fire surround to ensure that it is fitted far enough away from the heat source to prevent it becoming hot to the touch. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the fire surround is positioned safely away from the heat source. Once installed and in use, we advise you test and check your fire surround before allowing a child to come into contact with it. Please also ensure the fire surround is installed at a safe distance to ensure any limbs are unable to reach through the bars and come into contact with any heat source.

Children’s skin may be more sensitive to temperature than an adult’s so check that the surround or objects close to the fire do not become too hot to the touch. It is worth bearing in mind that this will be dependent on the level of heat radiating from the heat appliance so routine checking is best practice.

Do not place any object or dry washing on the fire surround. Always place the fire surround directly on the floor and do not allow children to swing on any of the panels. 

Safetots’ fire surrounds are wall mounted and as such, the surfaces to which the fixings are attached need to be structurally sound and in good condition. Screws are provided for fixing into wood. For fixing to plastered walls, plasterboard, concrete or brick surfaces, surface preparation and separately purchased wall plugs, appropriate for the mounting surface, will be required.
