Open Fireplaces

For decades, the Home Fires open fireplace range has been transforming South African homes with a stunning ambience and a lifetime of fireside memories, while generating heat for the room it is installed in.

Whether converting an existing brick chimney or starting from scratch, this iconic South African fireplace offers versatility, with a choice of ten sizes that include single- and double-sided options, as well as freestanding solutions.

Designed to be the ultimate open fireplace, the Home Fires open fireplace range delivers unparalleled radiant warmth and powerful hot air circulation through its convection layer. As the timber safely burns to fine ash in the grate, minimal seasonal cleaning is required – ensuring a hassle-free and enjoyable experience.

Immerse yourself in the mesmerising dance of flames, knowing that your Home Fires open fireplace provides brilliant heat and serves as a captivating visual focal point. With a commitment to quality and innovation, Home Fires continues to be the epitome of excellence – setting the standard for open fireplaces that are as beautiful as they are functional. Embrace the warmth and elegance that only a Home Fires open fireplace can bring to your home—an enduring symbol of timeless comfort and style.

Only A–grade hot rolled mild steel is used for our fire boxes, which ensures a long-lasting product and peace of mind. A large ash drawer in the foot piece of the freestanding fireplace that is originally designed by Home Fires, makes cleaning an easy and less frequent task. Big ash drawers are supplied with a Home Fires built-in fireplace as well. These ash drawers are designed to hide the ashes and give the unit a neat appearance, even after use.

The fire grids are easily removeable and replaceable – drastically reducing maintenance costs. Therefore, you only need to replace worn parts instead of the complete fireplace basket grate. All fireplaces feature a double or triple back plate, which ensures longevity and incorporates a convection cavity.

All built-in fireplaces and most freestanding fireplaces feature both radiant and convection heat systems, with an adjustable damper, which is easily controllable from the outer shell of the fireplace, without the need for any specialised tools. The flow in the chimney can be regulated with this damper system as well.

If you want to install an open fireplace in your home, Home Fires has the perfect model to suit your needs!
