Winter is Coming! Get Your Hands on a Built-In Fireplace

Winter is around the corner and now is the ideal time to get your hands on a built-in fireplace for your home! At Home Fires, we offer a wide selection of fireplaces that can create heat in your home without the need for electricity. Whether you want an open, closed slow-combustion, or gas fireplace, we have you covered. We also offer freestanding fireplaces, built-in braais, and freestanding braais to ensure that you have an extensive choice.

How Can I Utilise a Built-In Fireplace?

Some homes have space for built-in fireplaces and/or braais in sectioned-off walls that might also feature chimneys. However, built-in fireplaces can be utilised as room dividers a well, with double-sided options available from our range. Living in South Africa, we have become accustomed to dealing with constant loadshedding – which becomes a big problem during the winter months. Luckily, with a built-in fireplace, you can work around the electricity cuts and enjoy the heat that is created by a wood/coal fire, or even a gas fire, in your home!

Which Type of Fireplace Should I Buy and Install in My Home?

This comes down to personal preference. Wood/coal fireplaces, whether they are open or closed slow-combustion, require proper ventilation through the roof or sidewall of the room that they are installed in. Otherwise, the smoke could get trapped in the room and cause health and safety issues. On the other hand, gas-powered fireplaces produce drastically reduced levels of smoke, which means that they do not require the amount of ventilation that a wood/coal fireplace requires. Gas fireplaces are also available with different grates – white pebbles, coal-style, or Real-Fyre gas logs – to add some customisation to your choices.
