Contemporary & Traditional Wood
read moreTo get the best from your wood burner we recommend logs should be seasoned for at least 2 years or more in a dry well ventilated place to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will give around twice the heat output compared to freshly cut timber and help avoid a build-up of tar in your flue. If you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have around twice the calorific value of softwoods.
Fires for Fireplaces
read moreThere are many different types & styles of gas fires. Some require a chimney or flue. Then there is balanced flued, power flued & catalytic converter flue- less fires that do not need a chimney or flue at all! Electric fires have the benefit that the "flames" can be used independently without any heat, so you can still enjoy the cosiness of the flames on dark mild evenings or when the central heating is on, without overheating only a few pence per hour. Real fires have been with us since the cave man days, but with evolution come efficient fires!
Fireplaces
read moreOur popular and classic limestone fireplaces can be used with gas fires, electric fires and real fires. We use quality Portuguese limestone, agean limestone, English limestone and Umbrian limestone to make your made-to-measure customised and unique fireplace. Contemporary & modern fireplaces come in all shapes and sizes. We offer fireplaces that are low in height, due to ever increasing demand to leave enough pace above them for large mirrors, pictures or televisions. Simple but elegant hole in the wall fires where less is defiantly more.
