Changing or installing a new fireplace is not a project to embark upon lightly; you'll need professional advice regarding heat output, fuel sources and fitting, and advice from an interior designer may be useful, too. The fire surround size is important – too big and it will overpower the room, too small and it will look insignificant. The size of the existing opening, chimney breast and flue will influence the size of fire and surround that will be suitable for the room – if possible, it may be worth considering structural alterations to get exactly what you want. Most reputable fireplace showrooms offer an installation service, or can recommend registered fitters and installers in the local area.
If the chimney is sound and the flue in good working order, then you'll have the option to choose a fire that burns solid fuel or logs, or perhaps even a stove. For a fuss-free real flame, a gas fire is your best bet, as an open-basket gas-burning fire with ceramic “coals” is virtually indistinguishable from a real coal-burning fire. |
