Abstract

A firebox cover for thermally sealing off a firebox while not in use comprising a flexible barrier member, a sealing member and a magnet member. The flexible insulating barrier member covers a firebox opening within a room preventing thermal energy within the room from exiting through the firebox opening and preventing thermal energy within the firebox from entering the room. The barrier member has a cellular structure with a thermally reflective front face and thermally reflective back face. The sealing member about the periphery of the barrier member provides a substantially air tight seal about edges of the barrier member when the sealing member is magnetically affixed to a metallic surface surrounding the firebox opening during use of the cover. The sealing member has a pocket for receiving the periphery of the barrier member, an expansion portion for maintaining contact between the sealing member and the surface surrounding the firebox opening during pressure changes across the barrier member, and a cavity for receiving the magnet member. The magnet that fits within the cavity of the sealing member magnetically affix the sealing member to the metallic surface surrounding the firebox opening.
