The Edwardian Tiled Fireplace Insert

rf11

A period recreation of a classic Edwardian
tiled arched Fireplace with brick-like cross bonded tiles.

The insert complements a number of our
Reproduction Fireplace Mantels but any of these Fireplace Mantels
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.

Tiled Fireplace including hearth and fret from

£745

This insert is also available with our
special hand dipped Fireplace tiles.
These Fireplace tiles are hand dipped
in the glaze and fired at different angles
in the kiln to recreate an authentic look.

With its slip cast opening blocks to the
Fireplace opening this insert is made
in exactly the same way as the
original Fireplaces from 1910 to 1930
and are indistinguisable from them.

+ £125

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 not available
for this Fireplace.

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.
