We have a really nice open cast iron fireplace but our little one is just starting to crawl and will soon be walking too, so we need to stop her crawling into the fire… there are loads of baby/child fire guards on sale in the UK but MAN are they all ugly! They are just cages – it makes your house look like a prison. The best one we’ve seen is from Mothercare that has a curve to it, but the actual bars are still cage-like.
Whereas with the normal (non child safety) fire guards / spark cages, there are hundreds of really attractive looking ones, with nice meshes, wiggly-bars, stained glass screens etc. But these don’t attach to the wall – the baby would just pull them over on top of her…
Are there any baby safe fire guards out there that look like normal ‘pretty’ fire guards?
Thanks
Ross

It is really difficult to find something different from the ‘cage-like’ ones. I found one which is a plain mesh, it’s in the sources. Hope it helps.
WHAT?
I saw a pretty nice looking one on Fireplaceguards.com. You might try that if you havent already.
Or .. you could try contacting a local stained glass artist! Ive seen some gorgeous fireplace screens made of stained glass. You could very easily turn a screen into a guard but adding a couple of sides i think. It would of course be more aesthetically attractive than brushed metal or wrought iron. And you could commission something entirely of your own taste and color palate.
Hope that helps ! Good luck !!
**Oooh .. i didnt notice you already tried the glass route. Seems as though that if you perhaps spoke to an arisan and described your exact need that you should be able to design the frame (which would be made of metal) to be able to attach to the wall. Sorry about that .. but good luck still !
