For centuries, the hearth was the center of the home not just the place where the family gathered to keep warm, but also the place where the food was cooked. With the introduction of modern technology, convenience became a priority and the cozy warmth of a fire in the kitchen was lost.

Now you can have the best of both worlds. Travis Industries has Fireplace Xtrordinair fireplaces to suit every room of the house, including the kitchen. And with the trend towards open-plan kitchens that are part of a larger family living area, the warmth and coziness provided by a fire can be a particularly welcome addition to your home.

The Fireplace Xtrordinair collection consists of a great variety of gas fireplaces and gas burning fireplace inserts, and is designed to complement all architectural styles from traditional to modern. The fireplaces come in a variety of sizes, and include compact gas models designed for small kitchens or intimate spaces, such as bathrooms.

Antique looking kitchen. 5 stools around the island. Island has interesting legs at the 4 corners of the island, and has black cabinetry. Other cabinetry in the kitchen and along the side of it is light brown with overhead cabinets at varying heights. A vertical glass display cabinet on the left, with a 'hole' that sees through to the other side of the room. The gas fireplace has an Antique Gold French Country face plate and travertine niche liner. The cooktop is next to the fireplace with the hood. Patterned backsplash. A number of drawers and cabinets beneath the countertop. Green walls.

Bed and Breakfast fireplaces can be installed in corners or on flat walls and offer a choice of interior styles: Antique Brick Beehive, Tumbled Travertine Stone and Classic Shell interior. A choice of six exterior finishes includes hand-rubbed Antique Gold, 24ct Yellow Gold, Brushed Nickel and handcrafted Wrought Iron.

Bed and Breakfast vertical fireplaces burn natural gas or LPG and are vented directly to the outdoors, either horizontally or vertically.

Each fireplace features an ember fire burner with hand-carved logs, which are almost indistinguishable from real wood.
