Fireside story

Bathroom heating is often invisible, but it doesn't have to be this way. There's no reason why you can't enjoy the warmth and beauty of a custom-designed fireplace while you bathe.

Travis Industries has a fireplace for every room in the house, including the bathroom. The company's range of compact fireplaces includes the Avalon Hideaway, Fireplace Xtrordinair Bed & Breakfast and Lopi Looking Glass models all well suited to smaller rooms.

Many of these fireplaces can be installed in corners or on flat walls, and offer a choice of interior styles, such as Antique Brick Beehive, Tumbled Travertine Stone, Rock Creek and Classic Shell interior.

Fireplaces come with several exterior finishes to coordinate with your room. These include hand-rubbed Antique Gold, 24ct Yellow Gold, Brushed Nickel and handcrafted Wrought Iron.

The Lopi Looking Glass fireplace offers something a little different when not in use the glass front of the fireplace has the appearance of a mirror.

All the fireplaces feature the Ember-Fyre¢ burner with hand-carved logs, which are almost indistinguishable from real wood.

Direct vent technology allows the combustion air and exhaust to be completely sealed from your home and provides the flexibility to vent your fireplace either horizontally or vertically.
