Alfresco living

Whether it's a pleasant summer's evening or a cool winter's night, an outdoor fireplace introduces a warm ambience to alfresco dining.

The Fireplace Ltd has a range of fires from international brands Jetmaster and Heat-n-Glo that can transform your outdoor living area. These fires come in a variety of sizes and can be customised to suit your needs and preferences.

The Jetmaster Alfresco features a removable cooking grill that can be easily stored under the self-burning ash pan when not in use. A stainless steel cover helps protect the fire against the elements.

Another new model is the Dakota gas fire from Heat-n-Glo. With its weatherproof logs and 304-grade stainless steel construction, this flueless gas fire is designed for outdoor use.

Many factors, including local environmental regulations, fuel recommendations and the position of buildings, walls and trees, can influence the type of outdoor fire that best suits your needs. Consultants from The Fireplace Ltd can visit your home and help with your selection.
