Technical Design

Fireplaces should be used as well as seen.

Your choice of fire depends on:

  • Your preferred fuel,
  • Lifestyle,
  • Running costs,
  • Environmental impact,
  • How your house is built (or going to be built)
  • Aesthetics

Only by understanding your needs can we fully provide the right fire for you, and install it to meet current legislation.

 


We designed and built the furnace fires for the restored engine in the SS Great Britain, opened in 2007 by Jeremy Clarkson.

UK Building Regulations

Building Regulations closely control the technical installation and performance of fires.

As of June 2007, the Homebuyers pack will report on the efficiency and CO2 emissions from your home, including your fireplace fire.

Look at our series of info pages (links to the left) to get an introduction to the issues involved.
