What can I use to cover an unused fireplace or fireplace hold? How to cover a fireplace hole?

The Draft Guard from Minuteman International is a great way to block off an unused indoor fireplace. There are a couple of size options available. You want to choose the draft guard cover that will cover your fireplace opening completely to ensure it will stop the cold air.

Should you cover your fireplace?

There is no benefit to not covering your fireplace opening when not in use. Whether you use a set of glass fireplace doors or opt to go with the Draft Guard Cover, you will have peace of mind knowing that you are helping keep cold air out of your living space and keeping the warm air inside of your cozy home. Draft guards should never be used while a fireplace is in operation or as a way to distinguish a flame, but they are great to use whenever the fireplace is not in operation. The draft guard also helps keep animals from entering the home if they ever find their way into your chimney.

Does the draft guard cover eliminate my need for a damper?

A draft guard can complement your damper's performance, but it doesn't completely eliminate the need for a damper. A fireplace damper serves to control the flow of air in and out of the chimney when the fireplace is in use, while a draft guard is mainly used when the fireplace is not in use. 

• The damper is essential for controlling the intensity of the fire, by adjusting the airflow to the fire and it also helps by ensuring the safe and efficient evacuation of smoke. 

• The draft guard cover, on the other hand, helps to prevent cold air from entering the room and warm air from escaping when the fireplace is not in use. It essentially acts as an extra layer of protection against drafts, but it does nothing to help control the airflow while the fireplace is in operation.

Both the damper and the draft guard cover have their unique roles and contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of your fireplace operation. It's worth noting that the damper should always be fully open when the fireplace is in operation, and a draft guard cover should never be placed over the fireplace opening while a fire is burning.
