An inexpensive way to upgrade the look of fireplaces, wood stoves or gas fireplaces is to purchase a hearth rug. Although, hearth rugs are more than just a design accessory for your living room or family room. They can be a lifesaver, too. Anyone who has seen sparks from a crackling log in wood burning fireplaces or wood stoves, know that they can suddenly leap from the hearth appliance and cause damage to flooring and even start a fire.
Hearth rugs are small area rugs that are often treated with a fire-resistant conditioner to prevent them from catching fire if a stray spark lands on them. Hearth rugs are typically shaped like a semi-circle and are meant to lie directly in front of your fireplace, stoves or gas fireplaces, though some people prefer small rectangular hearth rugs instead.
Fire resistant hearth rugs will protect your floor and add beauty to the hearth area. All of our rugs are high quality and display beautiful color. Fireplace Village NH sells three types of rugs; olefin, polyester and 100% wool. Generally, the olefin is the least expensive material followed by polyester and the most expensive 100% wool.
Wool and Olefin Hearth Rugs
Wool and olefin/polyester are the most common fibers used in hearth rugs. Olefin rugs are especially suitable, since they will char slightly but not ignite when a spark touches them. Shoppers looking for hearth rugs should keep two things in mind:
1. Avoid hearth rugs with fringes or tassels, which can be a fire hazard.
2. Some products sold as hearth rugs have no fire-resistant properties – they are simply called hearth rugs because of their shape and size. Be sure to ask what the hearth rug is made of, and whether it is suitable for use near a hearth appliance.
Fireplace Village NH is the largest fireplace and stove shop in NH. We carry an extensive selection of high quality, fire resistant hearth rugs at all of our NH locations.

In these difficult economic times reducing heating bills is a priority. With a high quality glass fireplace enclosure and professional installation, it is possible to reduce heat loss up your chimney both when your fireplace is burning, and when it’s sitting idle.
After burning, your fireplace and chimney system are extremely warm, leading to a powerful chimney draft. This draft is akin to a very large exhaust fan, continually pumping heated air out of your home, and replacing it with cold air from the outdoors. Your fireplace damper should remain open for at least 18 hours after fireplace use, as there are significant levels of carbon monoxide coming from the remaining embers and ash. During this time your hard earned fuel dollars are literally flying up the chimney.
Today’s better quality glass and screen enclosures can be made to be tight fitting to your fireplace face, even to irregular stone surfaces. An interior frame can ensure a tight seal on all four sides, so that when the glass doors are closed, the heat loss is reduced by 95% or more. When opened, these glass doors can fold flat to either side of the opening, allowing access to the spark screens behind. These screens are generally available as doors as well as curtains, so you have a choice when it comes to style and function.
Fireplace Village NH is the largest Fireplace and Stove Shop in NH. We carry an extensive inventory of fireplace doors and enclosures and can custom order fireplace glass doors and fireplace screens. Stop by one of our NH stove shops today.

Having guests for the holidays and want to update the look of your old fireplace? Regardless of the type of fireplace, the best way to update its look is with a new fireplace screen. These functional screens are not only a safety precaution, keeping stray ambers in and kids and animals out, but they are also decorative. The New Hampshire Division of Fire Safety recommends the following: Keep a tight fitting screen or glass doors in front of the wood stove or fireplace at all times. Special retaining screens can keep children and pets away from wood stoves and prevent burns.
