Fuel Types
Different fuel types offer different benefits. Some homeowners want real flames and strong heat, while others want flexibility, simple control or a fireplace that can be used without a chimney. Choosing the right fuel type is one of the most important parts of planning a fireplace project.
Fireplaces
Fireplaces can be traditional, modern, decorative or built around a working fire. They may include a fireplace surround, hearth, slips, chamber, fire basket, inset fire, stove or feature appliance.
A fireplace can suit almost any style of home, from period properties and classic living rooms to contemporary interiors, media walls and open-plan spaces.
Wood Burning Stoves
Wood burning stoves are a popular choice for homeowners who want real flames, strong heat output and a traditional focal point. They can be installed into existing fireplace openings, positioned within chimney breasts or used as freestanding features with a suitable flue system.
They are ideal for living rooms, cottages, country homes, period properties and modern spaces where a real log fire feel is wanted.
Gas Fires
Gas fires offer real flames, convenient control and reliable heat. They are available in traditional and modern styles, including inset gas fires, balanced flue fires, hole in the wall fires and larger feature fireplaces.
Gas fires are a good option for homeowners who want the atmosphere of a real fire without storing logs or refuelling the appliance by hand.
Electric Fires
Electric fires are one of the most flexible fireplace options. They do not need a chimney, flue or gas supply, making them suitable for media walls, apartments, new build homes and properties without an existing fireplace.
They are available as inset fires, freestanding electric stoves, media wall fires, front facing fires, corner fires, double sided fires and 3 sided feature fires.
Bioethanol Fires
Bioethanol fires create real flames without needing a traditional chimney, flue or gas supply. They are often used in modern interiors, apartments, feature walls, media walls and bespoke fireplace designs.
They are a strong option where a real flame is wanted but a conventional fireplace, gas fire or wood burning stove may not be practical.
Designs
Fireplace design affects how the fire looks, how it is viewed and how it works within the room. Some fireplaces are designed to be seen from one direction, while others are created for open-plan spaces, media walls, corners, room dividers or outdoor living areas.
3 Sided Fireplaces
3 sided fireplaces, also known as three sided or panoramic fireplaces, provide a wide flame view from the front and both sides. They are often used in media walls, feature walls and open-plan living spaces.
This style creates a strong architectural focal point and works well in contemporary homes where the fireplace needs to be visible from different parts of the room.
Corner Fireplaces
Corner fireplaces are designed to make use of a corner position within the room. They are ideal where the layout does not suit a central fireplace or where wall space needs to be used more efficiently.
They can work well in modern living rooms, media walls, small rooms and open-plan interiors.
Double Sided Fireplaces
Double sided fireplaces, also known as two sided or see-through fireplaces, allow the fire to be viewed from both sides. They are often used between two rooms or within a room divider.
This design can help separate open-plan spaces while keeping the areas visually connected.
Front Facing Fireplaces
Front facing fireplaces are the most traditional and widely used fireplace layout. The fire is viewed directly from the front, making it ideal for chimney breasts, media walls, living rooms and feature walls.
This style suits both traditional and modern interiors and can be designed around gas, electric, bioethanol or solid fuel appliances.
Freestanding Stoves
Freestanding stoves are designed to stand independently on a suitable hearth. They can be used in existing fireplace openings, in front of chimney breasts or as standalone features with a suitable flue or connection.
They are available as wood burning, gas, electric and bioethanol options, depending on the property and desired look.
Outdoor Fireplaces
Outdoor fireplaces are designed for gardens, patios, terraces and outdoor living spaces. They can create warmth, atmosphere and a strong feature for relaxing or entertaining outside.
Outdoor fireplace options may include gas fires, wood burning fireplaces, bioethanol fires and external fire features.
Choosing the Right Fireplace Collection
The best fireplace collection for your home depends on your property, room layout, fuel preference and design style. A wood burning stove may be ideal if you want real logs and strong heat. A gas fire may suit you if you want real flames with convenient control. An electric fire is a flexible option for media walls and homes without chimneys, while a bioethanol fire can create a real flame feature without a traditional flue.
For the design, a front facing fireplace is ideal for a classic focal point. A corner fireplace can work well where space is limited. A double sided fireplace is suited to room dividers and open-plan layouts. A 3 sided fireplace creates a wider panoramic flame view, while freestanding stoves and outdoor fireplaces offer more specialist design options.
