About Fire Grates
The purpose of the fire grate is to keep your logs or coal in place and help the burning process, the grills at the botton of the fire grate aerate the fire to help improve the heat. With any fire grate you must not over heat the unit as this will cause twisting of the cast. In post war homes the size of the fireplace grate is determined by the size classification of the fireplace opening or clay fire back, that is manufactured to a British standard size classification of 14” 16” & 18” etc. This is why 14" fire grates, 16" fire grates, 18" fire grates are available, but their actual measurements will not exactly relate to the classifications just mentioned. An 18” fire grate may not be exactly 18” wide it is designed to fit with a tolerance into a 18” classified fire back.
About Solid Fuel Kits
If you want to burn solid fuel such as coal or logs on your fire you'll need a solid fuel kit and these kits are ideal if you have no exsiting grate etc as the solid fuel kits include everything you'll need to install into a tapered fireplace opening, fire front, fire grate, ash pan and ash pan lifting tool. The grate supports the coal or wood and is raised up from the ground so that air can flow from underneath to feed the burning fuel. A variety of grates are available to match the profile of the fire bars and minimise the gap that burning fuel might fall through.The ashpan collects the burnt fuel that falls through the slots in the grate.
About Ash Pans
Ideally to be used with the fire grates as this will help in the cleaning up of the ash. The ash pan will collect the debris from the burning fire and once cold, is easily removed and all is left is to brush clean the floor area and the grate of any ash.
