THERMOVENT: TRADITIONAL OPEN FIREPLACE IDEAS FOR YOUR FIREPLACE RESTORATION
Preserving the open fireplace tradition.
As a result of recent UK emission regulations for solid fuel appliances production of Thermovent open fires is being phased out. We do have limited stocks of components which we are able to complete for clients and install for use. Once this supply of stock is exhausted Thermovent will unfortunately no longer be available. We would like to emphasise that Thermovents which are already installed or are purchased from our remaining supplies are not affected by these new regulations. So, if you are interested in a Thermovent open fire please call us on 01905 820181 or use the contact form here to get in touch.
As the UK’s leading wood burning open fire specialist, Camelot will continue to offer customers across the UK and abroad traditional open fires using our unique Twin Skin canopy design and traditional fire grates and fire baskets as these are outside the new regulations and perform to the same high Camelot standards.
The Thermovent is an incredibly effective and efficient woodburning open fire. Our own unique design, it combines 50 years knowledge of open fire design with traditional materials and skills plus the latest in laser cutting technology to create a traditional open fire with high performance built-in. It’s also designed for ease of installation by any competent person.
Handmade canopies plus hand forged or cast dog irons are wrapped around your Thermovent as a suite to create the look of your chosen period. If you want an open fire why compromise with a wood burner when you can have the real thing – made to order just for you!

High performance traditional open fires.
Take a look at the video of Paul Shaw, second-generation owner of Camelot Real Fires, as he explains how our Thermovent delivers on performance whilst retaining a heritage appearance. The heritage of this style of fire can be traced back to the mid 1700’s.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Love it!
Another customer said this about one of our fires:
“We’ve given the fire a good test run and it works really well. It certainly throws out some heat. The fire is amazing…we love it and it does everything we wanted it to do.”
Sally, Berkshire
TRADITION WRAPPED AROUND HIGH PERFORMANCE
Keeping the tradition of your Inglenook open fireplace or French marble surround alive whether it is a fireplace restoration or an existing open fire place shouldn’t mean you have to compromise on comfort or performance.
Our Thermovent fires offer the best performance of any woodburning open fire of its type in the UK and we guarantee it will work. We cure lots of smoke problems with Thermovent open fires.
We have also helped many owners of Thatched properties sleep better at night and enjoy reduced insurance premiums with our Thermovent fires as they are lower risk than a stove.
Choosing your Thermovent couldn’t be easier. We offer three options – The Anniversary Edition, the ‘Bespoke package‘ or the ‘Tailor made package‘ plus a few additional options. Our listed prices exclude delivery and installation.

If you choose a ‘Bespoke’ or ‘Tailor made’ Thermovent package, based on our quotation and agreed description with reference images, once a deposit is paid we will develop a sketch of your fire basket, canopy or dog irons for you to review, revise and approve. Once we have your agreement we will strike metal to create your unique piece of fireplace furniture.
Our design process has been refined over many years and never let us down (it has in fact saved us a few times instead.) We’re confident whatever you might ask us to create you will find close alignment between your design and the finished piece.

WHY IS IT THERMOVENT IS SO EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT AS AN OPEN FIRE?
A multi-faceted approach to open fire design that you can feel but not see.
Twenty five years ago when the founder of Camelot Real Fires, Trevor Shaw, designed the first generation Thermovent he knew he would need to employ many different approaches to achieve his goal.
Getting the most from each log by keeping the heat in the fire itself as long as possible was one key element, then finding a way to pass that heat to the air around the fire and then get it moving around the room was the second. Finally the ability to control the fire, and close off the flue when not in use was the third.
When Paul, Trevor’s son, re-designed Thermovent to achieve CE mark status these same principles remained but changes such as a 140% increase in the surface area within the heat exchanges gave a significant lift in effective performance. See more on how we achieve Thermovent performance here.
The other key focus of Thermovent design is ease of use for you, the owner, and discretion. You don’t want to be aware of the features that are delivering the increase in performance – it’s an open fire that should look beautiful and in keeping with your fireplace aspirations.
