The Albemarle Fireplace Insert

rf02

An Art Deco inspired Fireplace design.
We have found that this design is also
very effective as an All Tiled Fireplace

We feel that the insert complements a number
of our Reproduction Fireplace Mantels such as the Empire,
Gatsby, Ellis and Teardrop but any Fireplace Mantel can be
manufactured to surround any Fireplace insert*

These insert designs are shown at 40" square but
they can be manufactured at any size if necessary.
We offer a complete bespoke service where each
Fireplace is manufactured to a customers requirements.

Tiled Fireplace including hearth and fret from

£695.

To burn solid fuel a stool grate is also required.
Living Flame Gas Fires are also available
to suit these Fireplaces.

All tiled products are manufactured in
Manchester at our factory/showroom site

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. Whilest 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.
