Do fireplaces need a heat shield?
No, not all fireplaces need a heat shield. However, a heat shield can enhance the visual appearance of the space while also protecting the room. Carefully measure your fireplace to ensure the best fit. Shop a wide range of heat shields and fireplace inserts on 1stDibs.
