Nothing adds warmth and ambience to a room quite like a real open fire. Aside from the fact you have a fantastic focal point, inglenook fires and other open fires generate additional heat and give a lovely glow to your room.
You can choose from a wide variety of designs and styles such as the traditional open grate, which comes with or without a canopy, or wood burning open fires, which are freestanding convector fires that can be inset into your existing fireplace if required.
When you opt for handmade open fires, rather than the standard products you can buy off the shelf, you will be investing in something that compliments and fits in with the style and theme of your room. Rather than having to tailor your décor and furniture to accommodate the new fire you have just purchased, your handmade open fire company will design and create the perfect fire for your surroundings.
An inglenook fire was traditionally defined as a chimney corner and would have been the only means of heating a house and preparing hot food and drinks. Nowadays we tend to think of inglenook fires as those fireplaces big enough to house seating or storage as well as the fire itself. These large fireplace recesses may be reminiscent of the medieval great halls but they can be given a modern twist to fit in with even the most contemporary settings.
Your handmade open fire company can again tailor your inglenook fires to enhance and compliment the design of your room and with many different styles of dog irons, grate fronts and canopies to choose from, you can personalise your fire to suit your own preferences.
Whether you are restoring an old chimney or having a new fireplace built, it is always important to adhere to modern building regulations and ensure your chimney is performing correctly. When discussing the possibility of installing inglenook fires or wood burning open fires, your bespoke real fire company will be able to advise you on whether or not your fireplaces meet the necessary standards and make recommendations as to any additional work you may need to undergo before you can complete your perfect room with the perfect fire.
