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.
• Fireplace inserts can fit into existing fireplaces, which are enclosed, allowing Banbury clients to convert an unused hearth into a source of heating.

Our plumbers and engineers can fix any issues with fireplaces, in addition to boiler repairs and central heating servicing for main heating systems.

 

GAS BURNING FIREPLACES

 

Gas fireplaces are a clean and cost-efficient way to heat your property, which can be included in range of home improvement designs. Gas fireplaces require little construction and can be installed by our kitchen fitters and bathroom fitters. As well as installing fireplaces, our Gas Safe engineers and plumbers can carry out boiler repairs and central heating servicing throughout your Banbury home.

• Direct-vented fireplaces can be vented through an existing or brand-new chimney However, Banbury clients can choose a simple pipe connection for an easier installation, which requires shorter construction timeframes to carry out the work by our kitchen fitters and bathroom fitters.

 

If you have any questions about gas burning fireplaces, be sure to speak with our Gas Safe registered plumbers. Not only do we work to a continuously high standard for your safety, but as distinctly local plumbers, we also know the importance of clear answers to your questions.

 

ETHANOL BURNING FIREPLACES

These are popular in contemporary designs due to their stylish appearance. Ethanol burning fireplaces are clean, environmentally-friendly and they are odourless. Due to their aesthetic qualities, they are a versatile choice for Banbury clients to add to open-plan kitchens and modern bathrooms, installed by our plumbers, kitchen fitters and bathroom fitters.

• Ethanol conversions are inserts which can be easily inserted into existing fireplace hearths. These models come in a range of traditional and contemporary styles to match your home décor.
• Wall-mounted models can be installed by our plumbers, bathroom fitters and kitchen fitters, which are fireplaces suspended from walls. These enhance the practical element of heating with a striking aesthetic value.
