Are there such things as free-standing heat deflectors?
1 Answer
We carry this free-standing heat shield. It is not meant to be used to reduce the clearance to combustibles and is not meant to be permanently attached to a wall. It is a heat shield that can be placed in front of a wood stove to protect small children.

What can I use to direct heat outward for maximum room warmth?
1 Answer
Depending on your application, you may or may not be able to utilize a blower. This would push heated air from the fire into the room. However, not all models or applications allow such a feature.

What is the difference between a lintel mount hood and a surface mount hood? Also, if it says that it is 6 inches, does that mean it sticks out from the fireplace by 6 inches?
1 Answer
A lintel mount hood is designed to insert into the fireplace opening and attach to the lintel, using fasteners. A surface mount hood is designed to affix to the fireplace facing, just above the opening. The 4" or 6" measurement denotes the projection of the hood from the face of the fireplace forward away from the fireplace opening.

Is there a reason not to install a hood on a vented gas fireplace? I know it will reduce the heat going up toward the mantel, will it also keep the brick at the top of the fireplace from the soot?
1 Answer
A hood can certainly be installed on a vented gas fireplace. Normally, heat output to the mantel is not that extreme, but occasional downdrafting can cause soot accumulation over time. The hood would help to cut down on that issue.

How do I properly measure for the fireplace hood?
1 Answer
If your glass fireplace cover is an operable door assembly, you will need to measure from the outside to the outside of the assembly. If the cover is a fixed pane of glass, you will want to measure to the metal on either side of the glass panel.
