Warming influence

Creating cosy and comfortable living spaces during the cold winter months is a successful and simple way of transforming a house into a home.

Installing a fireplace is a good starting point, and relatively easy if it is incorporated into your new house at the planning stages. However, the type of fireplace you choose will depend on factors such as the construction system of the house, the size of your home and the living spaces, the style of the house and your particular needs.

Heatmaster has specialised for the past 30 years in designing, manufacturing and installing fireplaces of all types, so the staff are well placed to provide advice and guidance in the decision-making process.

The company's standard range includes wood, gas and direct vent fires in a wide selection of sizes and styles, as well as flueless ethanol models, which are especially suited to apartments.

However, the Heatmaster team also works with homeowners, architects and designers to design non-standard fascias for specific jobs. One-off fascias like this can dramatically alter the overall look or design of a standard fire.

Director Tony Styles says his company's approach is to work with customers to find the best fireplace solution for them.

"With our long experience in this industry and with our personalised service ethos, we can find solutions to most heating needs and resolve any problems easily," he says.

Heatmaster products are distributed throughout Australia and New Zealand.
