Explore You Many Options For Fireplace Hearth Rugs


Fireplace hearth rugs can transform the complete look of just about any fireplace. Hearth rugs not only add to aesthetics of a fireplace hearth but also serve the function of helping to fireproof your home. Before you decide on the kind of fireplace rug you need to purchase, you have to first consider the materials it is made from. Not just any rug can be used in front of a fireplace. You have to be sure a fireplace rug is made of a material that is fireproof. These rugs are not just simple fireplace accessories, they serve an important purpose. They will protect the floor in the case that hot cole, wood, or paper happens to leap from the fireplace grate. This is a dangerous situation that can happen easily, such as when you are using the fireplace bellows to get a fire going.
Luckily there are many options that not only look great, such as the classic round rug, and give comfort, like rugs that double as pads to lay in front of the fire, but will also give you the protection you need. Fireplace hearth rugs made of nylon are going to stay together even with the toughest of conditions. They are the perfect hearth rug to choose if you have children or animals that live in or frequent your home. Nylon has one of the highest melting points of all the materials fireplace hearth rugs can be made of. This will allow you more time to react, should there be an accident, before there will be a burned spot left behind. Fireplace hearth rugs that use fiberglass are also going to be among the sturdiest. They do not melt or catch on fire so they are the ultimate in protection.

If animals and children are not a regular factor in your home, then a fireplace hearth rug made of wool may be an option for you. Be sure to get one that has been specially treated with fireproofing so that it will not be a fire hazard and will protect the floor. Wool rugs are going to come in the most variety of colors, styles, shapes and patterns than any other option. Fireplace hearth rugs that are made from bamboo are going to another great choice if you have not pets or children. They also come in fireproof treated varieties but even with it they can easily reveal a burned area. They will take a bit more care then other options but if they are perfect for your décor, it may be worth it.

Before you decide which kind of fireplace hearth rug to purchase,  price first needs to be considered. You need to know how much you have to spend before you go shopping. Also you will need to measure the size of your hearth to get the correct size. Be sure to take the measurements with you as you shop. You will also want to bring colored photos of your fireplace, and the décor of the space it is, in to make sure you get the best matching pattern and colors. Figuring out how often you use the fireplace and wether it has a screen will help you decide how sturdy of a rug you will need. The more you use it and/or if you do not have a fireplace screen, the more protection you will need.
