Fireplace Safety
Fireplace Safety Baby Gates, Screens and Bumper Guards Installation in Houston
Overview
Fireplace Gates (Fences)
Hearth Bumper Guards
Childproof Fireplace Screens
Light, color, and heat: these three qualities of a fireplace draw a curious baby or toddler to a hearth like a moth to flame. Even when a fireplace is closed off, the structure’s sharp, hard edges and dangerous tools mean that the best way to ensure your child’s safety is to invest in appropriate fireplace baby proofing products.
Secure a fireplace screen to the inside of the fireplace to prevent a child from pulling it over on themselves. Make a fireplace screen safe for children with childproofing products.
Fireplace gates or fences are a great way of sectioning off an entire fireplace to protect from fire and hard edges. However, make sure the product you choose is secure enough to stand without being easily toppled over: this could lead to further injuries and a fire hazard. The fence should be fixed with screws to the exterior of your fireplace.
With a wood burning fireplace, a gate should be positioned far back enough to guard your child from sparks and burning embers. A gas fireplace’s child safety gate can be moved closer.
An auto close hearth gate provides a door that shuts itself for better convenience and safety. Additionaly, gates may feature safety alert systems to signal you when the door is not closed securely.
Foam Edge Guard
Foam edge guards attach directly to the hearth padding of sitting (raised) hearth-type fireplaces. These protection devices for toddlers and infants are designed to fit snugly against the hard corners and sharp edges of the stone padding. Foam bumper guards stay in place thanks to adhesive foam, that sticks to the surface of the extended hearth. Fireplace padding is easy to install and varies in colors so that your little tike can be protected from bumps and bruises while your home still looks stylish.
Full Cushion Hearth Guard
Full cushion hearth guards are a type of soft guard that functions by covering the entirety of the part of the raised hearth that extends from the wall into the room. Because fireplace designs come in all shapes and sizes, full cushion hearth guards need to be custom-made and installed by professionals in order to properly protect little ones.
These kid safety screens act as a spark guard and protect your infant or toddler from open flames and the burnt wood and ashes inside a fireplace. A magnetic screen is one option that can be directly attached to a fireplace’s metal frame without tools or installation. However, it’s important to know that screens cannot fully keep your child safe. Baby proof fireplace safety screens made of glass, wrought iron, and metal protect from direct fire, but they do heat up themselves by absorbing heat from the fire. Freestanding screens can be easily toppled and may be knocked over while hot, which can be even more dangerous. When searching for a quality screen, don’t hesitate to consult the professionals to ensure your child’s safety.
Very nice staff! Very efficient.
Very pleased with their products and their professional service. The retractable baby gates on our stairs and our "grandma" cabinet locks are perfect for visiting grand kids but not a hassle for everybody.
Great People and products. Thank you so much for creating a safe environment for kids at our home.
Rick and Evan are awesome. Thank you for helping us make our house safe!
Rick, your crew came into my house today to child proof it. The first thing they asked was do we need to take off our shoes, or are you ok with booty covers? WOW! No one has ever made shoes an issue. As a new mom I never thought about shoes on the floor, thank you for that information as well as all the other information you gave us in the home evaluation. The best thing is my home is child proofed, and I feel good about it. There were a few things I knew to take care of but my husband and I had no clue how to. You have helped us so much. At first I thought this was going to be too much money and we could not afford to have it all done. Well you proved me wrong on that, it was very affordable and well worth it. In fact I have two new friends with babies and I would like to purchase a gift card for them. How would I go about doing that? Thank you so much for everything!
Dear Rick,I am very pleased we met at the Moms Expo. You and your crew came into my house and did everything you said you would, and more. (Thank you for fixing that cabinet door, its been broke since we moved in). Your company standards are very high, and very professional. Now I know why everyone I talk to has used you. All I can say is thank you for making our home and pool safe. My husband is so happy that it was done by someone that knows what they are doing. I have given your name out many times and will continue to.
Thank you for making our home safe. It was great working with you and your company. Our installers are very professional and courteous, and even stopped and helped me carry in my groceries. I was referred to your company by a very picky friend of mine and I know if she used you, you must be the best. Thank you for all your help. I am sending my mother-in-law’s number to get her home done also.
Rick,Just thought I would drop a note here. When my wife called Precious Baby Protectors to see about an in home evaluation I was against this. My wife told me what she had done and I told her I can do it myself, do not even have them come. Well she had your company come out without me knowing, I was on a business trip for nine days. I guess she felt comfortable with the owner Rick and his staff. When I got back into town my house was child safe. At first I was upset, because I thought I could do it. Then I realized how great this was, its done and I don’t have to spend time trying to do this. There were so many things I never would have thought about that Precious Baby took care of. I am so impressed that I have referred your company to many of my friends. In fact we are all at the mall last Sunday and I was talking to another dad. I told him about your company and how I was so thrilled. He said “Chuck they are coming over on Monday; my sister used them 9 years ago.” All I could say was, Wow good for you! If you ever want to take your company national please look me up, I will be your first investor.
Description of Work: Installed 4 baby gates and baby fence to go across the living room and kitchen.Comments: They did a great job. They brought all of their own materials. They were quick on the installation. They did a very professional job and made it look great.
Rick and his team are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They evaluated my house, inside and out, and made recommendations to keep my 3 toddlers safe. They also told me what we did not need, so I felt they were most concerned with safety, and not just focused on selling me unnecessary things. They have proprietary products that you can't get anywhere else that are better, safer, and easier to use. I highly recommend them.
Precious baby did a great job installing our gates. They were punctual and explained the process. I like that they used a higher grade hardware to install the gates and made everything look clean and professionally installed in my brand new home. They made several suggestions that we didn't end up installing just yet but we plan to bring them back in for phase two. Thanks Precious Baby - these new gates are a game changer for all of these stairs.
Rick was responsive and a great communicator. He told me which of the stuff we had already done was correctly installed or with a modification could be used somewhere else. I appreciated those money saving tips. We have a three story townhouse so stairs we're my concern and their construction did cause for a creative solution which Rick made happen. Everything has been easy to use and we haven't had any issues since the install over one month ago. Appreciate everything he does and can't recommend him enough!
Rick and his install guy did a great job. They were very responsive and worked with me on the design of the fencing. It was just installed and looks and functions great! Would recommend.
Excellent experience. Service setup in less than a week and top notch. Well detailed invoice and great communication. Excellent binder with examples of work and options. Walked through how to secure each lock and explained the invoice in detail. Pleasure to work with.
Rick and Evan are awesome. Thank you for helping us make our house safe!
Very happy with the quality installation and service we received from Rick and his crew for our baby gates. Would recommend this company to anyone out there looking for baby gates that will last - all metal gates look great next to the wrought iron stairway.
Rick and his staff did a wonderful job making our home safe. They installed multiple gates and endless other safety equipment to make the house safe for our little one! Wonderful to work with and we highly recommend their company!
I just happened to see this reply by Inga and wanted to tell you about my 5 star experience. I truthfully don't believe this person. This company has done excellent work and all my friends and neighbors rave about them! This company is #1 in my book!We had our gates originally installed 5 years ago and this company has been nothing but wonderful. We had our whole house baby proofed, and a poolfence. Last year we took the gates down as our daughter was 5 1/2....little Joey came along unexpectedly and is now starting to walk....Rick and Robert were back last week to re-install my gates and they were wonderful. These guys are so honest, do excellent work and I would never trust anyone else to do our install. It bother me that people would have the nerve to lie!
We are extremely happy with the service and our child proof rails. The customer service was amazing, our house looks amazing. We had all the second floor done. We had open walls that you could look down to the first floor and our kids had been climbing to look over. Now with the rails, we have peace of mind and most important our kids are safe. The Second floor looks great because the rails go with the decor. Thank you again, Precious Baby Protectors !!
Rick and his crew are amazing! Highly recommended to all families babies, toddlers, and pets!! They also do pool safety nets and fences! You must protect your family, call them!
We were displaced by the storm. I sent in an email asking for help at our rental house. Rick called me and explained how they work. We made an appointment for the next day at 1. At 1 I get a knock on the door. (Thank god they did not ring the doorbell). Robert and Gage showed up as I was told. We went over everything that I wanted. They installed it all and went over every item with me. Great, peace of mind is here. Robert and I went over the invoice, they discounted everything due to us being displaced by the storm. We are so happy, and all of this will be moved into our home when we rebuild. So professional and went way above to help my family out. Great caring people 3/-0
So happy with their work and customer service!!! Would highly recommend them!! Not only do my baby gates look nice I also finally have peace of mind that my precious one will be safe!! Thank you!!!
Timely, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. Highly recommended. Thank you to Rick for all of your patience with our questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How to babyproof your fireplace?
To properly baby proof your fireplace, be sure to avoid free-standing fireplace child protection screens or gates. These options are pushed over easily, and when it comes to the area around a fireplace, you don’t want a safety device to become a fire hazard. Instead, when toddler proofing, look into installing an attachable baby gate at an appropriate distance from your fireplace. Remember also that fireplace screens don’t offer complete safety, as they get hot and can burn a kid when being touched.
Because a fireplace is also hazardous for sharp edges and hard stone, consider using multiple methods to childproof your hearth by bumper foam or full-cushion guards.
How to childproof hearth padding?
Bumper guards are a great solution to protecting from a fireplace’s other dangers besides heat: hard stone and sharp edges. Foam edge guards are easily applied and soften corners and lines. A full-cushion hearth guard covers all exposed stone your baby might reach. For full-coverage, look into installing a fence around the fireplace.
