Quick Summary
A steel floor protector for use underneath clay or metal chimeneas, helping protect the floor from soot, ash or heat damage.
What This Product Is Used For
This steel floor protector is designed to sit underneath a clay or metal chiminea and help protect the floor from soot, ash or heat damage. It can also be used with firepits, braziers and incinerators. Compared with leaving a heat source directly on the floor, this offers a simple extra layer of protection, which is why users choose it over more basic setups.
