Fire Grates & Fireplace Tools
If you are looking for fire grates for an open fireplace, this category focuses on the practical pieces people actually replace and use. The range centres on heavy duty steel fire grates in multiple widths to suit different hearth sizes, making it easier to find a grate that fits properly and supports a better burn.
If your old grate has sagged, cracked, rusted out or never sat quite right in the first place, replacing it can make a noticeable difference. A well-sized grate helps lift logs off the hearth, improves airflow underneath the firewood, and gives your fire a steadier base to burn from through the evening.
Heavy Duty Fireplace Grates for Open Hearths
A proper open fireplace grate does more than hold timber. By raising the wood above the base of the fireplace, it helps air circulate underneath, lets ash fall away more easily, and supports a cleaner, more reliable burn. That is why replacing an old or undersized grate is often one of the most worthwhile upgrades for an open hearth.
Many people searching for replacement fire grates are simply trying to find the right width for their fireplace and a stronger grate that will handle regular use. That is exactly what this range is built around.
Choosing the Right Fire Grate Size
The main thing is measuring the internal width of the fireplace where the grate will actually sit, not the width of the outer surround or mantel. A grate that is too narrow can look undersized and support less of the fire than you want, while a grate that is too wide may not sit neatly or safely within the hearth.
Choosing the right size gives you a better fit visually and a more practical base for burning timber. Whether you are fitting a smaller fireplace or a wider open hearth, getting the proportions right makes the whole setup work better.

How do I choose the right fire grate size?
Measure the internal width of the fireplace where the grate will sit. Leave sensible clearance so the grate fits neatly within the opening rather than pressing against the sides.
