Warm hearted

WHETHER flickering quietly in a boutique bar, or gracing an exclusive restaurant or hotel foyer, a fireplace emanates a cosy welcome.

Warmington creates a range of fires for commercial spaces for Fires By Design. While the majority are designed to harness the almost primeval appeal of an open fire with clean, minimalist styling, the company also designs classic fireplaces for a more traditional ambience. The fires are energy efficient, operate at the touch of a button and are virtually maintenance free.

For commercial projects, the fires are custom made to suit the exact needs of the location. The team at Fires By Design works closely with architects and specifiers to ensure each fire provides the best possible aesthetic impact and level of heating for the space.

"Our commercial fires often receive quite rugged treatment and are in use for extended periods of time," says manager Greg Stevenson. "For these reasons they are built along even more robust lines than our domestic fireplaces but with the same focus on aesthetic appeal and ergonomic design.

Warmington fires can be gas or wood-burning, with wood-burning fires able to be converted to gas at a later stage if required. Warmington's gas fires are easy to maintain and can be installed both indoors and out.
