About this product
This COOSOO Fireplace Hearth Rug offers a practical solution for protecting your floors from the mess created by open fires. Constructed from two layers of silica-coated glass fibre fabric combined with a fireproof film, this rug is designed to provide a degree of fire resistance and help contain sparks and embers. It’s ideal for homeowners who enjoy using fireplaces or outdoor grills, particularly those with wooden flooring or delicate carpets.
The half-round design of the rug fits neatly against most fireplace hearths, preventing stray debris from spreading across your floor. The rug is available in three sizes – 50x80cm (20x32inch), 50x100cm (20x40inch) and 100x150cm (40x60inch) - allowing you to select the best fit for your space. The rug weighs approximately 420g, 600g or 1800g depending on the size purchased.
The rug features a non-slip backing to keep it securely in place and is constructed using machine made techniques. It’s easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner, broom, or by shaking out, and can also be washed or put in the washing machine. Please note that this product is designed for use as a supplementary measure of protection and should not replace a dedicated fireguard around open flames.
The rug itself is constructed from fireproof silicone coating and has a solid colour design. It’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and can be used in the kitchen or on decks and patios. The packaging contains one fireplace mat.

FAQ
What is this rug actually good for?
This COOSOO Fireplace Hearth Rug primarily protects your flooring – particularly carpets and decks – from sparks, embers, and drips caused by fireplaces or outdoor grills. It's ideal for safeguarding surfaces around wood-burning stoves or charcoal barbecues.
Will it fit my fireplace?
The rug comes in three sizes: 50x80cm, 50x100cm, and 100x150cm. The half-round design is designed to sit neatly against most standard hearths, but measuring your hearth’s dimensions before purchasing is recommended.
What's it made of?
The rug is constructed from a double layer of silica-coated glass fiber fabric combined with a fireproof film. This dual construction provides excellent protection against heat and sparks, ensuring durability and resilience.
Is it easy to clean?
Cleaning is straightforward; you can use a vacuum cleaner, broom, or shake the rug to remove loose debris. It’s also machine washable for deeper cleaning, though always check the care instructions before doing so.
Is it suitable for gas fireplaces?
While designed to protect against embers and sparks from wood-burning fires, this rug isn't specifically tested or certified for use with gas fireplaces. Use caution and ensure adequate protection around any open flame.
How does it compare in price to other hearth rugs?
At approximately £24.99, the COOSOO rug offers good value considering its two-layer fiberglass construction and fire-resistant materials. It’s generally cheaper than premium brands but provides a comparable level of protection for basic fireplace use.
Is it really flame-retardant?
The rug's flame retardancy is achieved through the silica-coated glass fiber and fireproof film construction, which slows down ignition. It’s designed to resist flames but shouldn't be considered a substitute for a proper fireguard around open flames.
Does it have a non-slip backing?
Yes, the rug features a non-slip backing that helps secure it in place on your flooring. This prevents movement and reduces the risk of the rug sliding while protecting your hearth area effectively.
What are its limitations regarding safety?
This rug is designed to shield your floor from embers and drips, not as a primary fire safety device. Always maintain a safe distance from open flames and use appropriate fire safety equipment for emergency situations.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes, the rug is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, protecting your patios or garage floors from spills and heat damage caused by fireplaces or grills. However, consider using a cover to protect it from prolonged exposure to weather conditions.
