How cosy can it be around a fireplace? Nothing can really match the splendour of real flames.  People have been warming themselves in front of an open fire for centuries. The dancing flames have a huge attraction to us. A fireplace or insert now offers a one-size-fits-all alternative to a traditional “dirty” open fire. Modern combustion techniques ensure that your “closed” fire becomes a very functional and environmentally conscious way of heating and burning. Thanks to highly efficient combustion, you have much more control over fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The only question is which fireplace is best for you?
