Fireplace accessories - in other words - what else do we need for our fireplace?

Anyone who intends to buy their own fireplace has to take into account the fact that the fireplace itself is not everything. Even the purchase of the most technologically advanced and the most expensive model does not replace an array of accessories available, which are indispensable.
Accessories will enable us to make use of all the benefits every fireplace can offer. Moreover, accessories are crucial when it comes to cleaning and functioning of fireplaces.

If you desire that your fireplace accessories should serve you well for many years ahead, settle on high quality products and not on much cheaper substitutes, which are available in DIY stores and which are made mostly of low quality materials and as such they suffice for one heating season only. Changing fireplace accessories every year - after all that is not what you want, do you?
