Fireplaces - A Combination of Beauty and Functionality

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Fireplaces are an example of architectural excellence and functional comfort. From antiquity to the modern times, fireplaces have evolved from simple heat sources to symbols of comfort, atmosphere and refined architectural aesthetics.

Let's look at the fascinating world of fireplaces, examining their history, different categories, materials and design aspects:

A Brief History

The history of fireplaces dates back to ancient times, when man first discovered the use of fire for heating and cooking. The first fireplaces were simply openings in the walls that allowed smoke to pass through. As architectural techniques evolved, fireplaces developed into central hearths, becoming an integral part of medieval and renaissance homes. With the industrial revolution, technological advances led to more efficient and safer fireplace designs, moving from open hearths to stoves and closed-glass fireplaces.

Types of Fireplaces

Wood-burning fireplaces:

They can be found in classic and modern fireplaces! They have the ability to evoke nostalgia, presenting an open fireplace where the wood burns. They offer a charm in the crackle and glow of burning wood.

Tradition and innovation

The majority of our wide range of fireplaces provide heat by natural convection. Many of these appliances are also equipped with the Multifuoco® system, the technological innovation that distributes heat evenly throughout the room from floor to ceiling, heating areas far away from the heat source.

Gas fireplaces:

Gas fireplaces provide a convenient and clean alternative. With excellent heat output they provide high heating efficiencies and a high degree of comfort. You can choose the appliance depending on the type of gas you have available - either natural gas or GPL.



Electric Fireplaces:

They are renowned for their very real flames, economical consumption and user-friendly operation.

  • An electric fireplace is a nice and easy solution to produce the effect of an "open" fire. Fireplaces can be used decoratively, but usually have a heating function as well. Most fireplaces are equipped with various levels of lighting and heating and can be operated by remote control.
  • An electric fireplace needs no maintenance at all, which is why they have become so popular in a short period of time. The new generation of electric fireplaces run on economical LED lights and consume very little energy when used only as a decorative fireplace.

Bioethanol-burning fireplaces:

They require no chimney or flue and yet constitute a safe open-flame fireplace solution! The bioethanol burner gives a wonderful warmth and can be fitted to existing fireplaces, in bespoke projects. The ceramic core of the burner absorbs the bioethanol and ensures very economical combustion.

Pellet-burning fireplaces:

Combining traditional ambience with modern technology, Pellet fireplaces are a popular choice nowadays and provide excellent heat output. They provide efficient and environmentally friendly heating. Pellets are an alternative heating fuel belonging to the solid fuel category. They are produced from wood residues which are compressed by a special drying process to remove all moisture. They are cylindrical in shape and require special devices - stoves - for combustion.

"Steaming" fireplaces:

Smart decorative fireplaces that do not need a chimney. These products are found where art, design and technology intersect and bring you an innovative way to achieve the charm of flame in your space. These are modern fireplaces with real flames that can be installed very quickly, both in the city and in the countryside, in a house, in an apartment or in commercial spaces. They are environmentally friendly and vent-free, and are easy to install and use. A decorative fireplace for everyday use, simply at the touch of a remote control button.

Here are some tips for choosing and installing a fireplace:

  • Choose the right fireplace based on the fuel of your choice (wood, gas, pellet, bioethanol, electric, steam)
  • Select the right size so that it meets the needs of the space.
  • Choose a fireplace that matches the overall style of your home.
