Description
The 485mm x 350mm fire grate is a practical option for open fireplaces that need more coverage than a compact grate without moving into the wider sizes. It suits smaller to medium hearth openings where a solid, heavy duty steel grate makes more sense than trying to stretch a tiny grate across the space or squeezing in one that is too wide.
If your old grate has rusted out, sagged, cracked or never felt quite right in the fireplace, replacing it with the right size can make the setup easier to use and better balanced overall. A raised steel basket fire grate helps lift logs off the hearth so air can circulate underneath, ash can fall away more easily, and the fire has a steadier base to burn from.
485mm fire grate for smaller to mid-size open fireplaces
This heavy duty fire grate works well in fireplaces where the 350mm option may feel too compact, but a broader grate would be more than the opening really needs. That gives it a useful middle role in the range, especially for people trying to match the grate more closely to the internal width of the hearth rather than just guessing.
The basket design keeps timber raised off the base of the fireplace, which is exactly what many people want from a replacement fire grate. Instead of the wood sitting flat in ash, the fire gets better airflow underneath and a more practical support structure for everyday burning.

Why this size works well
Not every fireplace needs a very small grate or a broad one. This 485mm size sits in a useful spot for fireplaces that need a bit more width and support than the most compact option, while still keeping a neater footprint than the larger grates in the range. That can make it a better visual and practical fit for many open hearths.
The main thing is measuring the internal width of the fireplace where the grate will actually sit. That gives you a much clearer idea of whether this size is right, rather than assuming a standard grate will suit every hearth.
More options
If you need a more compact option for a tighter fireplace opening, compare the 350mm x 350mm fire grate.
If you need a broader mid-width option for a larger hearth, compare the 615mm x 350mm fire grate.
FAQs
How do I know if this fire grate will fit my fireplace?
Measure the internal width of your fireplace where the grate will actually sit, not the outer surround. You want enough room for the grate to sit neatly within the opening without being forced in too tightly.
Why use a raised fire grate instead of placing logs on the hearth?
A raised grate helps air move underneath the firewood more easily, which can help the fire burn more steadily and allows ash to fall away from the timber instead of building up around it.
Should I choose this size or go up to the 615mm version?
That comes down to the internal width of your fireplace and how much of the hearth you want the grate to cover. If your fireplace is on the smaller side, this 485mm size will usually be the neater fit. If you have more room across the opening, the 615mm option may suit better.
