Are you in the market for a closed combustion fireplace for your home? Home Fires is your wholistic solution. We sell a variety of closed slow-combustion fireplaces to ensure that you can find, buy, and install the perfect unit in your home.

When you compare a standard/open fireplace to a closed combustion fireplace, there are many differences that you immediately can pick up on. Let’s talk about these differences and why you should consider a closed slow-combustion unit for your home.

Closed Firebox

With a closed combustion fireplace, the firebox is closed with a front-facing or side-mounted door (dependent on the specific unit). By sealing the fire inside, the airflow can be monitored and controlled. This leads to an extension of woodburning fires, as the fire is not exposed to any exterior elements that could influence its burn rate. The closed firebox also creates a more controlled environment of heat being generated around the firebox.

Safe for Indoor Usage

In most cases, an open firebox requires a variety of safety measures that must be in place within the direct vicinity of the firebox. Some of these requirements also apply to closed combustion fireplaces. However, they are generally safer to use in direct comparison to an open firebox. It is still recommended to install such a firebox in a room or area that is properly ventilated.

Whether you want a freestanding or built-in closed combustion fireplace, these fireboxes are fitted with flue pipe exits that are specifically designed for releasing generated smoke through a sidewall, roof, or chimney. We sell a variety of installation accessories to ensure that you have more than enough flue pipe options to effectively ventilate your firebox.

A Smart and Cost-Effective Alternative

The primary function of a closed combustion fireplace is to generate heat for the room or area in which it is installed. Such a firebox can be a smart and cost-effective alternative to using electrically powered appliances that could send your utility bill through the proverbial roof. With a woodburning fireplace, you have a feasible alternative for when the power grid fails or the inevitable loadshedding kicks in once again.
