Today, we talk about the 3 different types that you can buy from Home Fires – giving you insight to pick the ideal type for your home.

3 Types of Fireplaces: Which One Should I Choose?

• Open Fireplaces: If you are looking for an open fireplace for sale in Cape Town, you want a conventional fireplace that sits in a wall cavity and is linked to a chimney. These fireplaces can create a vintage aesthetic for your home. An open fireplace also creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere in the room in which it is installed. However, it requires more safety regulations to be followed, such as removing any and all combustible materials from its immediate vicinity.
• Closed Slow-Combustion Fireplaces: These units are some of the more popular types of fireplaces for sale in Cape Town. They are designed to seal the firebox and not allow any exterior elements to interfere with the burn rate of the fire. Still, a fire needs sufficient oxygen to keep on burning. These fireplaces have their own air intake systems installed to regulate the burn rate and heat generation of the insulated fire. They house woodburning fires and are ideal for economic and sustainable heat generation in your home.

• Gas Fireplaces: If you want a modern fireplace for sale in Cape Town, our selection of gas fireplaces is your solution. These fireplaces can add a modern aesthetic to your home – whether you want a wall insert or a freestanding model. Home Fires offers a selection of gas grates as well to customise the aesthetic value of your fireplace. You can also use Real-Fyre gas logs to create a sense of real wood being burned in your gas fireplace.
