Reclaimed Black Fireplace Hood 4ft High

Create a Stunning Focal Point with a Reclaimed Fireplace Hood

Fireplace hoods, or canopies, gather smoke from an open hearth and guide it safely up into the chimney flue. Historically, homeowners introduced these metal structures during the Victorian era to improve poor chimney draughts in drafty rooms. Today, they remain highly functional while adding immense architectural character to any hearth. This particular reclaimed black fireplace hood offers an exceptional way to restore your traditional fireplace.

Key Specifications and Build Quality

Our team salvaged this gorgeous canopy in fantastic structural condition.

• Width: 100cm

• Depth: 56cm

• Height: 122cm

• Construction: Heavy-gauge, thick steel sheet, bolted and rivetted together securely

• Finish: Smooth satin black with crisp, clean detailing

• Suitable For: Small to medium fire baskets and open log fires

Although previously owned, this reclaimed black fireplace hood shows very little outward sign of age or prior wear. You will find some remnants of old mortar around the top flue pipe. However, this section sits completely hidden within the chimney breast after installation. Consequently, these minor marks do not affect the gorgeous cosmetic presentation of the piece.

Innovative Draught Control

An unusual and highly practical feature of this reclaimed black fireplace hood is the integrated baffle adjuster handle.

This side-mounted handle connects to an internal damper plate inside the throat. Therefore, you can easily control the upward draw of air through the chimney. This clever mechanism lets you adjust how fast your logs burn. Additionally, it helps you prevent smoke from spilling back into your living room on windy days.

The Benefits of Reclaimed Interior Features

Choosing reclaimed architectural items for your home renovation yields fantastic rewards:

• Eco-Friendly Sourcing: Reusing existing metalwork prevents the high carbon emissions associated with smelting and manufacturing new steel pieces.

• Superior Materials: Older architectural salvage often features thicker, higher-quality metal than modern mass-produced equivalents.

• Historical Authenticity: Genuine salvaged items possess an organic, lived-in feel that brand-new replicas simply cannot match.
