Wood Fireplaces

A freestanding wood fireplace is a contained firebox with venting via a pipe to the outside. The freestanding style gives you the freedom to place the fireplace wherever it suits best in your home, as long as the flooring is suitable.

A contained wood burner is vented to the outside and mounted on the wall to save floor space in smaller areas.

This indoor wood fireplace is suspended from the ceiling via the venting pipe, seemingly floating in mid-air, saving floor space, and adding a truly unique design feature to your home. A growing trend in Australia.

A wood fireplace insert is a sealed firebox vented to the outside. These can be inserted into an unused masonry fireplace if you have one, or installed as an inbuilt wood heater in another space. They can be single, double, or triple-sided.

Wood stoves are freestanding wood burning heaters with a pipe vented to the outside and can be used to cook food on top of them, as well as acting as a great heating source. They produce more than enough heat for large spaces.

These open wood fires are found in older houses and are vented via a chimney. Usually made from masonry, brick or stone, they are not as efficient at heating a home and can produce more particulate matter and smoke.

With a wood burning fireplace, you want efficient heat from a stylish source, without the nasty stuff an old fireplace emits. A good quality indoor fireplace will produce enough heat in an efficient way for the space you want. There will be fewer particulates and all the smoke will be vented outside rather than into the house. It will also be well-crafted, with quality materials, meaning it will last longer, be safer, and look great while it keeps you warm. Complemented with the right fireplace accessories, they will make your spaces more functional, comfortable and enhance the overall ambience of your space.

Choosing the right wood fireplace for your home depends a lot on the space it’s going in. For example, if you’re heating a smaller space a wall mounted fireplace might be best. If you’re heating a larger area a suspended or freestanding model is probably better suited. You may even want to consider a multi-purpose option like a wood stove that can double as a cooking surface. Besides all these aspects of functionality, aesthetics are also important. Consider the architectural details of your interiors as well as the styling and choose something that works well with both. Also, don’t forget to purchase a high-quality firewood storage solution too, something that is often forgotten about when buying a wood burning fireplace.

Before you buy an indoor wood heater you should make sure you’ve considered other options too. For example, a wall-mounted bioethanol fireplace is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Eletric fireplaces are also worth considering as they offer convenient, energy-efficient, and customisable heating solutions for modern homes. Lastly, gas fireplaces provide a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces. However, if the warmth and ambience of a roaring wood fireplace is what you’ve been looking for, then nothing will beat that as the choice for you.
