Langley Ecodesign Stove with Christmas Decorations

With Christmas around the corner, many of us are eagerly decking the halls. But if your home features a stove or fireplace, it’s crucial to decorate with safety in mind. Fireplaces radiate intense heat, and poorly placed decorations can quickly become fire hazards.

For a beautiful and safe Christmas display, remember these essential tips:

  • Maintain a Safe Distance: Keep all decorations - including stockings, garlands, and any flammable items - at least three feet from your fireplace opening. Always consult your stove's or fireplace's manual for specific guidelines on safe distances.
  • Decorate Your Mantel Safely: Candles can add a magical glow, but if your mantel is made of flammable material, choose wisely. Use sturdy containers, drip trays, or better yet, switch to LED candles for the same cozy ambiance without the risk.
  • Check Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm: A properly placed and functional CO alarm is your best defense against carbon monoxide, a silent and dangerous threat. Make sure your alarm is installed in the same room as your fireplace or stove, is fully operational and is not obstructed by decorations. Need a new or replacement alarm? Order one today!

Stay festive and safe as you create a warm and welcoming space this Christmas. From all of us, happy decorating!
