The Fireplace insert complements a number of

Fireplace Mantels can be manufactured to surround
any Fireplace insert.

These Fireplace insert designs are shown at

any size if necessary. We offer a complete
bespoke service where each Fireplace
is manufactured to a customers requirements.

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 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.
