Embers Fireplaces

With such a delightful name, Embers Fireplaces conjures up the evocative crackling sound of a log fire on a frosty December evening and the feeling of being curled up in a cosy armchair in a living room while the wind howls outside. Its warm burgundy exterior complete with traditional gold lettering also seems befitting. Inside it is a showroom for fireplaces, with styles to suit a range of tastes and even solutions for those who want a ‘fire’ without a fireplace. Many of the fireplaces here would suit those who want the fireplace to be the focal point of the room, with impressive iron fireplaces and marble mantelpieces that would suit a large room and may appear rather imposing in a small one. Some have quite a traditional and romantic look with quite elaborate detailing and mantelpieces that could house a large number of ornaments! Embers Fireplaces does have quite a broad range of options though, so I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a fireplace, gas/​electric fire, fuel or fireplace accessories.

Embers specialises in fireplaces. It sells and services traditional — i.e. real fire places that require chimney’s — and fake/​electrical fire places. Many of their fire places are grand, iron things that would swamp a small living room. They sell traditional iron grates and things to keep your coal or logs in, as well as old-​fashioned fire blowers. I’m sure there’s a technical name for this but it escapes me. They also sell something called hot blocks, which look like compressed bits of wood chip. They burn slowly and are cleaner than burning regular logs. Probably useful even for a small bonfire perhaps.
