The Craddock Tiled Fireplace

ra06

A fan design inspired by a stained glass window
from a 1930s house. We have found that this
design is also very effective as a tiled insert

can be manufactured at any size and with
variations in shape if necessary. We offer
a complete bespoke service where each Fireplace

Different opening tiles are available in different designs.

Hearth sizes
Originally most pre-war Fireplaces would have had
hearths laid flush with the wooden floor. In general
they were about 48" wide and 18" deep. Current gas
and solid fuel regulations now stipulate that a
2"(50mm) raised hearth is required.

Our hearths can me made in large sizes so that
the Fireplace Mantel stands on it, small so that the Fireplace Mantel
stands on the floor or somewhere in between
(either the Fireplace Mantel or the hearth is cut out).
The standard sizes are small (39.5" x 16"in 4" tiles)
and large( 54"x15") in 6" tiles but they can be made
in any size or shape on request.

Our Tiled Fireplaces can be made in many sizes and colours.
The main colours we use are now shown on our tile colour page

20th Century Fires reserves the right to make minor design changes to the reproduction inserts or Fireplace Mantels shown on this site.

Our tiles are reproduced using similar methods to the original items and the degree of shade variation is inherent and desirable. Tiles are manufactured to bs6431 and are not guaranteed against crazing. Whilst most tiles do not normally craze, the thickness of glaze necessary to reproduce the very shiny Victorian colours may occasionally cause this to occur. It does not affect the serviceability and actually achieves a truer degree of reproduction effect. In certain conditions high gloss glazes are prone to discolouration and marking due to chemical attack from certain liquids including hard water. Victorian colours are easily scratched and should not be used in areas subject to abrasion.
