Fireplace or wood-burning stove
Comments (5)While we have never had an open fire place before, we have had a wood burning stove/heater and are planning to put one in the house we are building this year. They are just beautiful and give that gentle, bone-warming heat throughout the house. They are possibly easier to clean than an open,with the fire and ash being behind the glass door, though I guess I can't really comment. I would strongly recommend you buy one with the fan attachment as this greatly improves the throw out of the warmed air and certainly, the difference can be felt. They are beautiful visually too and nothing is nicer on a cold Winter day, than to have the fire going and be warm and snug inside. Good luck; I hope that helps....See MoreHearth Removal - Fireplace - Stain Wood Laminate
Comments (1)i was once told that "any wood matches any other wood" and that's helped me live happily with mismatched timbers for many years..of course it's probably possible to sand and stain the floor (ask a laminate timber floor supplier) but it'll be a tedious waste of sweat and tears for an uncertain result..what about make sure the walls, ceiling, architraves and skirting boards all look great and don't worry about under the hearth if it's not being moved, maybe add a matching trim around the hearth and plan a new floor for "later"...See MoreWood heater in fireplace
Comments (8)Stanislas Piechaczek A wood heater with a fan built into a chimney breast is a great addition to a room and makes a great focal point. Work out the m2 of the space you need to heat to make sure you choose the right one for the job. Some options have a zero clearance firebox meaning you can frame up next to the heater. Check the specs to see what the options are flues. Here are a couple of options http://www.pivotstove.com.au/catalogue/wood/inbuilt-zero-clearance-wood depending on floorplan and budget, there are double sided wood burners from Axis You can plan to have built in joinery as part of the fireplace area to complete the feature.

Comments (2)Is this a new build or is there an existing fireplace? Do you want the fire for heating or aesthetics? If it’s for hearing is this your primary source of heating? Do you want an open fireplace or one that is enclosed like a wood heater? If it is to be used for heating then consider a wood heater, especially if it is your primary source of heating. They are much more efficient than an open fireplace. They can be freestanding or inserts installed into a fireplace. If you want an open fire and are more interested in the fire because of the aesthetics then consider a cast iron insert such as a jetmaster, which can be used in a fireplace of your choosen material, as long as it complies with building codes and fireplace regulations. They are much more efficient than a plain brick or concrete fireplace but less efficient than a wood heater. If you decide on an open fireplace, ensure that your chimney can be closed off when not in use or you’ll lose lots of heat up the chimney. Best of luck...See Morekrissyser
