Different Kinds of Fireplaces

WOOD BURNING FIREPLACES

• Open hearths are traditionally made of brick or stone. This style provides an authentic fireplace aesthetic for homes in Banbury which already have a fireplace. If clients want to install one as part of an open-plan kitchen-lounge design, this will be a bigger construction job carried out by our builders and kitchen fitters to include proper venting.
• Enclosed style fireplaces are presented in a glass case, which helps to retain the heat. Enclosed fireplaces can be more energy-efficient to heat up your Banbury home as less heat will escape through the chimney.
• Banbury clients may wish to convert an unused hearth into a source of heating, which can be done using fireplace inserts that fit into existing fireplaces

Our plumbers and engineers can fix any issues with fireplaces, as well as carry out boiler repairs and central heating servicing for main heating systems.

GAS BURNING FIREPLACES
