Fireproof your rug for peace of mind
Where there's flame, there are sparks. And
where there are sparks, well, you don't want
your carpet anywhere near them.
Many people are reluctant to .use their
fireplaces because they worry about the sparks
flying onto their rugs and burning a hole
through them. You might he able to stamp out
the smoldering arca in time, keeping a fire
from spreading -hut then you're left with a
ruined rug.
Your first line of protection is a fireplace
screen. Just as a porch -screen keeps out bugs,
a fire screen keeps sparks from entering the
room. -
What about the times when the •screen is'
open -when you're putting more wood on the
•
fire, for instance'' To start, you should have at
least 45 centimetres (18 inches) of protective
tile between the fireplace and the rest of the
floor. That gives you a bit of breathing room.
Of course, the sparks might be able to travel
more than 45 centimetres (18 inches). Or you
might drop some ashcs,.or lean the tip of one
of your : fireplace implements on the rug.
However, there are three simple ways -to
Safeguard your rugs: -
• First, you can buy • something called a
hearth rug to place over your carpet near the
fireplace. They come in all colours and arc
made of 100 -percent wool. This material is
naturally fire-resistant, as it burns only at a
very high temperature: Even if the rug chars, it
•
won't burn. all the way through. Make sure that
the rug, is 100 -percent virgin wool, not
reprocessed wool. Look for the . woolmark •
symbol
• • You can also take a small section of your
own. carpet material, left over from when it
was installed; cut it to `size, and place it over
the carpet near the fireplace. if a spark
happens to burn into it, at least 'you haven't
damaged the carpet underneath.
• Third, you can treat the carpet with a •
flame-retardant _spray. They're effective' and
nontoxic. Ask your local hardware store or a
fire protection,outfit if they stock any. Then
treat the carpet in front of your fireplace, and
safely fire away!
