Traditional Fireplaces Without Working Flue or Chimney
There are many old or dated houses with beautiful, often antique traditional fireplaces where a mantelpiece itself is a feature of the room. The construction of the chimney is often very old-fashioned or simply dated and any renovation work might work out extremely expensive. We do have customers coming to us after getting quotes for their chimney work going well over £10000. Considering the fact that nowadays fireplaces are not used for heating and remain purely decorative, this often seems too high a budget for preserving the original functionality of the chimney and having a real wood fire.
Bio-ethanol fire could be an option here and there are several options that a customer may consider satisfactory. Even though the majority of bio fires are in fact contemporary designs, there are some that will fit in with a traditional interior very well.
At Bio Fires we offer a varied range of options for traditional fireplace lovers. We pride ourselves in being particularly focused on providing solutions for projects calling for a period fireplace conversion.
Not only we can help you plan and initiate your projects, but we can also create one of a kind, limited edition fireplaces tailored to your needs perfectly. This can often be a lengthy process, but don’t worry we are here to facilitate your requirements perfectly.
Custom projects require a minimum time of 3-6 months and incur a Bespoke Design Charge.
Once the sample has been created, we will have to carry out multiple tests with the manufacturer for further testing.
In order to do all of this we would require a non-refundable Bespoke Design Charge to cover the costs for producing, testing, shipping etc.
Once the order has been placed with us, we will then credit 50% of the Bespoke Design Charge
