Everything you need to know about a fireplace

The atmosphere makers in every interior

Traditional fireplaces are the classic choice for many homeowners. They have a rustic look and provide a direct and impressive source of warmth. These fireplaces are often built with bricks or natural stone and have an open firebox. Many modern homes are delivered without a chimney or flue. Installing a chimney also incurs significant costs.  

Electric fireplaces 

Electric fireplaces offer a modern twist on traditional fireplaces. They use electricity to produce realistic flames and heat effects, without the need for a chimney or smoke vent. This makes them ideal for apartments or homes without a chimney.

Bioethanol fireplaces 

Bioethanol fireplaces are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fireplaces. They burn bioethanol, a renewable fuel produced from plant materials. These fireplaces produce no smoke or ash and require no chimney, making them an excellent choice for modern, environmentally conscious homeowners. Yet, they offer the real flames consumers seek without the drawbacks and hassle of fireplace wood.

Built-in fireplaces 

Built-in fireplaces offer seamless integration with the interior of a home. They can be built into a wall, surrounded by stone, tiles, or even a custom-made mantel. This option provides a sleek and modern look. With our Xaralyn range, there are plenty of options available!

Freestanding fireplaces 

Freestanding fireplaces are an excellent choice for flexibility. They can be easily moved and offer the option to use the heat source in different rooms, depending on the family's needs.
