Wood fireplaces add a touch of elegance and tradition to your home. They are very aesthetic and can create a sense of ambience within any space; enjoy the smell of burning wood, the crackling of the flames and the warm light that they emit with your loved ones.

Chazelles Fireplaces has been designing and engineering fireplaces for over 50 years. We are the leaders in modern wood fireplaces and distribute to over 38 countries worldwide.

The different types of wood-burning fireplaces you can have in your home:

Woodfire inserts – sealed fireboxes that are inserted into an existing masonry fireplace. This is great for cost and will utilise the space that already exists within the home. These factors help to create a perfect indoor wood fireplace.

Wood stoves – Wood burning stoves will need to be installed by the manufacturer and will need to be inserted properly in to the home. They are great for larger spaces, as they are free standing. They have been around for hundreds of years and a great source of heat for your home.

Wood burning fireplacesare different to woodfire inserts in which they don’t need a chimney to function, instead they use a venting system like wood stoves. They are limited to new builds or large-scale renovations if you will be changing the integrity of the house itself.
