Fireplaces

We work with a wide range of fireplaces, fires and stove options for traditional homes, modern interiors, media walls, outdoor living spaces and bespoke fireplace projects. Whether you are looking for a classic fireplace, a contemporary feature fire or a practical heating solution, the right choice will depend on your property, style, fuel type and how you want to use the room.

Our fireplace options include gas fires, electric fires, bioethanol fires, wood burning stoves, outdoor fireplaces, front facing fireplaces, corner fireplaces, double sided fireplaces and 3 sided fireplaces. Each type offers a different look, flame effect, heat output and installation requirement, making it important to choose the right fireplace for your home.


Fireplace Options for Every Home

Fireplaces can be designed to suit almost any style of property, from period homes with existing chimney breasts to new build homes, apartments, extensions and open-plan living spaces.

A traditional fireplace may include a surround, hearth, slips and chamber, while a modern fireplace may be built into a media wall, feature wall or room divider. The best option will depend on whether you want real flames, high heat output, simple control, low maintenance or a purely decorative focal point.


Gas Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces are a popular choice for homeowners who want real flames, convenient control and reliable heat. They can offer the look and atmosphere of a real fire without the need to store logs or refuel the appliance manually.

Gas fires are available in a wide range of styles, including front facing, corner, double sided and 3 sided designs. Depending on the appliance and property, they may require a chimney, balanced flue or other suitable flue system.


Electric Fireplaces

Electric fireplaces are one of the most flexible options for modern homes. They do not need a chimney, flue or gas supply, making them ideal for media walls, apartments, new build homes and properties without an existing chimney.

Electric fires are available in a wide range of styles, from traditional inset fires to modern panoramic feature fires. They are especially popular for media walls, where the fireplace becomes part of a larger entertainment and feature wall design.


Bioethanol Fireplaces

Bioethanol fireplaces are a good option where a real flame is wanted but a traditional chimney or flue is not available. They can create a contemporary fireplace feature with a clean, modern appearance.

Bioethanol fires are often used in modern interiors, apartments, feature walls and bespoke fireplace designs. They still need to be planned carefully, with the correct room size, ventilation, clearances and surrounding materials considered.


Wood Burning Stoves

Wood burning stoves are ideal for homeowners who want real flames, strong heat output and a traditional focal point. They can be installed into existing fireplace openings or used as freestanding stove features.

A wood burning stove may require a chimney, flue liner, hearth, ventilation and suitable clearances. If there is no existing chimney, a twin wall flue system may be possible depending on the property.


Outdoor Fireplaces

Outdoor fireplaces can help transform gardens, patios, terraces and outdoor living spaces. They create warmth, atmosphere and a strong feature for entertaining or relaxing outside.

Outdoor fireplace options may include gas fires, wood burning fireplaces, bioethanol fires and outdoor fire features. The best choice depends on the garden layout, fuel type, weather exposure, surrounding materials and how the space will be used.


Front Facing Fireplaces

Front facing fireplaces are the most traditional and widely used fireplace style. The fire is viewed directly from the front, making it ideal for chimney breasts, media walls, living rooms and feature walls.

They can be designed around gas, electric, bioethanol or solid fuel appliances, depending on the property and the desired look.


Corner Fireplaces

Corner fireplaces are designed to make use of a corner position within the room. They can be a practical option where wall space is limited or where the layout does not suit a central fireplace.

Corner fireplaces work well in modern living rooms, media walls, small spaces and open-plan interiors where the fire needs to be viewed from an angled position.


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 as part of a room divider in open-plan spaces.

They can help separate areas while keeping the room connected, making them a popular choice for kitchens, dining areas, living rooms and modern extensions.


3 Sided Fireplaces

3 sided fireplaces, also known as three sided or panoramic fireplaces, provide a wider flame view from the front and both sides. They are often used in media walls, feature walls and open-plan living spaces.

They create a strong architectural focal point and are available as gas, electric and bioethanol fire options depending on the property and project.


Choosing the Right Fireplace

The right fireplace depends on your home, room layout, fuel preference and the style you want to achieve. Gas fireplaces are ideal for real flames and convenience. Electric fireplaces are flexible and well suited to media walls. Bioethanol fireplaces offer real flames without a traditional flue. Wood burning stoves provide strong heat and a classic stove appearance.

Before choosing a fireplace, it is important to consider the chimney or flue, heat output, room size, wall structure, ventilation, fuel type, clearances and final finish.
