Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

I really liked the backboard but thought it would be wider to cut to size given the price, however after fiddling with it it looks great as I have just stripped the fireplace in my bedroom from this awful cream paint to stripped back to cast iron using the paste. Don’t worry that wallpaper is going soon, I’m renovating my first home.

I bought the fireplace back board a year ago. First one I had to return as it was broken, they are very delicate and way overpriced. Second one was OK and fitted fine. When I tried the fire it gave off a really pungent smell but I thought it would go away. The smell got a bit less over the winter but didn't go. With the temp dipping this year I tried the gas fire and the smell was still there. So I decided to remove the back plate as it seems to be unnecessary as far as I can tell on my fireplace. Using it without has got rid of the smell issue.
After being told I needed genuine valor parts at over £100, I had nothing to lose trying this cheaper back fascia. Its perfect! Looks good fits perfect, no trimming needed, give my fire a new lease of life!
