Please read more to see our full buyers guide.
Electric Suites
Electric Suites are complete, freestanding, electric units. They are the simplest type of fireplace to install. In fact, you could describe them as 'Plug and Go'!
All you need to do is place the electric suite in the correct location and plug it in. Nothing could be simpler. You just need a flat wall and a nearby plug socket. There is no need to inset the fire into the wall, so there is no mess or fuss. Ideal for anyone who wants a complete fireplace, with the minimum of effort, at an unbelievable price.
All our Electric Fires and electric suites have a 1kW and 2kW setting, but you can also have the flame effect or light on without any heat being emitted. This is ideal if you want to give the sense of warmth without actually using the electric fan heater.
Inset Electric Fires
All of our inset Electric Fires are extremely flexible. They are designed to be inset into a backpanel with the standard opening of 22" high by 16" wide, but most can also be used as a freestanding unit.
Again, these electric fires are simply plugged into a mains electrical supply. This allows the fire to be fully freestanding, semi-inset or fully inset. All our Electric Fires have a 1kW and 2kW setting, but you can also have the flame effect or light on without any heat being emitted. This is ideal if you want to give the sense of warmth without actually using the fan heater.
Living Flame Gas Fires
A Living flame gas fire is the simpliest form of heat from a fireplace opening. Being much cleaner than solid fuel, and giving out more heat than an electric fire, a gas fire is the optimal choice for most homeowners.
However, all gas fires available do not necessarily fit all types of flue system. You can gain further help by contacting us direct or by using our identify your chimney section on the website. If you have no flue at all, don't worry! We have gas fires with catalytic technology, fan flue or power flue systems to accommodate any situation. They also come with a choice of trim and fret so you can give your living flame gas fire whichever appearance you prefer.
Limestone, Marble & Wood Fireplaces
One of our most popular lines is our Limestone fireplace range, imported directly from Portugal. The demand for these products is so high because of the natural beauty of limestone.
However, many do not understand that this is a natural product and so every piece of limestone is unique. Limestone is actually made at the bottom of ancient oceans, by the gradual layering of marine organisms on the seabed. As a result, natural limestone will contain fossils, coal seams and fault lines. This is part of the beauty of the product. There will never be an exact replica of your fireplace.
Our marble fireplaces are british made and manufactured in Yorkshire. You can have your marble fireplaces made to measure to meet your needs. Do you need the fireplace 3 inch larger or smaller? Do you need the hearth to be a certain size so you don't have to replace the carpet? Would you like to have lights in the fireplace? You can even choose from 6 different marble finishes or have it in Granite! It is your fireplace so you can have it made to your vision and ideas.
Our wood surround section comprises of real sheesham wood fire surrounds to Oak, Walnut, Beech and Mahogany Veneer and MDF surrounds. We do have a much bigger choice in our showroom where we have a made to measure service available to suit your needs. We also have a 18 differenct colour finishes to choose from so you can match up to existing furniture and decor.
Solid Fuel Limestone Fireplaces
The solid fuel stoves are a great efficient way of having that real fire experience. We have display ranges in our new fireplace showroom in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
