Wall-to-wall warmth Whole-house heating by Chazelles Fireplaces

Few experiences are as evocative as sitting in front of an open fire on a cold winter's night the noise, the heat and the sight of dancing flames.

While memories may be made of this, it is generally acknowledged that an open fire is one of the least efficient ways of heating wider spaces.

Luckily for the romantic in all of us, leading manufacturer Chazelles Fireplaces offers a solution, building a dual-opening door system into their products, says managing director Henri Courant.

"The door opens laterally so you can add wood, or retracts vertically to provide the ambience of an open fire. When the door is closed, you can enjoy the sustained warmth of a slow-combustion fire."

For even more efficiency, Chazelles can incorporate a hot air ducting system to redistribute warmth to other areas of the house. That way you can enjoy an evening in front of the fire and go to bed secure in the knowledge that your slow-combustion fire is safely warming your whole home.

"As well as our exclusive door system, we offer a wide range of design options, including removable handles and a range of trim colours. Plus we have a large range of fireplace surround designs and finishes to match your decor," says Courant.
