Overwhelmed by choice? Here is our quick guide to help you navigate all the options and build your perfect fireplace.

Please Note:

Until we have completed a site survey we cannot guarantee we can build all of our options (and some options that are found on the internet). This is because we must comply with UK building regulations.

We have created this step by step guide to help you develop ideas of what you would like and to help guide you through the wide range of options available, it is not a guarantee and should be used as guidelines only.

We strongly advise having a site survey preformed as soon as possible so we can take measurements and advise you on what is possible to avoid potential disappointment.

1 Decide on style

Traditional, contemporary, rustic, country chic, industrial etc.

Deciding on the style of finish you would like early on will be extremely helpful when picking out your options for a bespoke fireplace.

It means you will streamline your choices as some options will suit your chosen aesthetic whereas others will not.

This is also a good time to browse our gallery, home magazines and the internet for inspiration.

If you would like advice on how to achieve your chosen style, please feel free to visit our showroom to discuss your choices with our sales team.

2 Choose your stove (or stoves)

Pick the woodburner(s) or multifuel stove(s) you would like.

We recommend doing this after you've considered the style you would like as it helps streamline the range of stoves available to you. It also helps you when considering the following design options and will help you imagine what your finished fireplace may look like.

Remember you can consider as many or as few fires as you would like.

To view our ranges of stoves please click here.

The following steps are broken down to help guide you through the process.

However, the options are mix-and-match and therefore you may find yourself going back over steps.

We have listed these steps based on how we run through all the options in the showroom.

Behind your stove: heat protection for your wall.

There are many options available for your back panel(s), the two most popular are:

Brickwork/Brickslips
Tiling

The style of fireplace chamber you choose can have a dramatic effect on the over all appearance of your new fireplace, e.g. it can make an otherwise contemporary design appear more rustic, or make a rustic design appear more industrial.

For more information and to view our back panel options, please click here.

4 Decide the design

Your Hearth.

As with the other options listed your choice of hearth can have a dramatic effect on the overall appearance of your fireplace.

Examples of our hearth options include:

Slabbed Charcoal Hearth
Various Natural Stones
Various Tiling options
Brick
Concrete

As with the chambers we advise you to mix and match the hearths with our other options until you find the perfect match! Many of our hearth options can achieve multiple aesthetics. Such as our natural stones being able to achieve both contemporary and traditional styles depending on what you match them with.

For more information and to view our hearth options please click here.

5 Decide the design - Optional Extras

Beams, shelves, facia panels & surrounds.

Whereas every fireplace will need to include the brickwork, plastering, chamber and hearth options in some form. Beams, shelves, facia panels and surrounds are a completely optional finishing touch. However this doesn't mean they don't deserve as much attention. As with all our other options you can mix and match them to achieve different styles, and often they can change the overall appearance of your fireplace.

Wooden Beams, Shelves & Facia Panels

Wooden beams, shelves and facia panels are one of those finishing touches that can really bring your fireplace together, creating that homely aura we all love. We have a wide range of options available to you. Some of our products even give you the ability to choose the colour and texture of the beam, shelf or facia panel, allowing you to match it with your current furniture.

For more information and to view our wooden beam, shelf and facia panel options please click here.

Wooden, Natural Stone & Other types of Surrounds

Unlike a beam, shelf or facia panel that will sit above your fireplace opening, a surround will frame it. As with a beam, a surround can bring your fireplace together and can enhance the particular aesthetic you have chosen. We have a range of surrounds available in natural stones, various wooden finishes and more. Styles range from ornate to simple designs, ensuring their is a surround to suit all tastes.

For more information and to view our surround options please click here.

Non-combustible Wooden Effect Beams, Facia Panels & Surrounds

This option is commonly used when the woodburner or multifuel stove has a high distance to combustibles, but you still want the appearance of a wooden beam, facia panel or surround. However this doesn't mean you should just toss them aside unless you have to have one. We have many options available in this range in different styles and finishes that are not available in 'real' wood.

For more information and to view our non-combustible wooden effect beams, facia panel and surrounds options please click here.

These are our the options that have the most demand, however we love a challenge so if you have seen something you like that we haven't listed please contact us and discuss it with us directly.

All new brick fireplaces and alterations to existing fireplaces are designed specifically for each customer. Due to the bespoke nature of this product we do politely ask that you book a survey with our HETAS engineer for more tailored advice.

While we understand lockdown was frustrating, we are in a tier 3 area and therefore we also ask that our customers shop responsibly and only come into the showroom for essential purposes when possible. We are still able to take orders for stove spares over phone and email and in many cases out manufacturers will deliver these directly to our customers to help us to reduce the need for people to put themselves at risk of Covid-19. We know we sound like we are lecturing, however we want to ensure all our customers have a very happy and healthy Christmas. With all this in mind, we have reduced the hours the showroom will be open.

Introducing Saltfire & Ekol stoves!

by Flamecraft • 01 Nov, 2020

In October we teased that we were going to expand our range of wood burning and multi fuels stoves to give our customers a bigger range of Ecodesign Approved stoves that would suit a range of budgets, and we are excited to finally be able to introduce our two new brands to you.

What is Clear Skies?

by Flamecraft • 30 Oct, 2020

The clearskies scheme has been recently introduced, and many of the wood burners and multi fuel stoves we sell have a clear skies mark. However many of our customers see this logo and are left wondering what it actually means. Therefore we have put together the basics explaining what clear skies is, and how this potentially will effect choosing a wood burner or multi fuel stove.

EcoDesign 2022: What do I need to know?

by Flamecraft • 23 Oct, 2020

EcoDesign 2022 is changes to regulations for the Stove Industry.

Our range of wood burners & multi fuel stoves is about to get bigger!

by Flamecraft • 16 Oct, 2020

It is the season for hot chocolate, fluffy blankets, hot water bottles and curling up in front of a roaring fire. With the days getting sorter and the nights getting longer it means we are busy installing wood burning and multi fuel stoves in homes. Like for many this year has been challenging, and we have worked tirelessly to ensure our customers will still receive the best service possible from us. We also understand that with the challenges of the past year many of us we are looking for more affordable heating options for this winter. Over the summer we have had many discussions about the issues we are all facing, and we knew we wanted to do everything we could to ensure our customers can still enjoy owning a wood burner or multi fuel stove. On top of the challenges this year has brought us all we are also very aware that since the announcement of the incoming Ecodesign regulations more and more of our customers are coming to us looking for Ecodesign 2022 Approved wood burners and multi fuel stoves. While we had Ecodesign stoves available, we wanted to give our customers more options to choose from. So, we knew we had two targets: 1. Have wood burning and multi fuels stove options available for a range of different budgets. 2. Expand our range of Ecodesign Approved stoves. We went through many different ideas until we finally realised the solution was in front of us (literally in a pile of brochures we had from a trade show we visited last year). A manufacturer that had a huge range of Ecodesign 2022 approved wood burning and multi fuel stoves that meet our own guidelines for quality and design (as well as being manufactured in the UK), and to top that off offering a range of price points that would allow us to offer more affordable stoves. So of course we gave them a call.

Update: When visiting our showroom

by Flamecraft • 25 Jul, 2020

We are open again and ready to welcome customers back into our showroom. However following government guidelines and to keep our team and customers safe we kindly ask customers to adhere to the following: When visiting please follow Baytree Garden Centre's one way system. Due to the width of our showroom and the positioning of our doors we are only able to accommodate one household at a time whilst adhering to social distancing. We are unable to ensure that there is a 2 meter distance between households due to our built in displays which allow for less than a 2 meter gap between them. Therefore we may politely ask customers to wait outside with a 2 meter distance from the door if we are already serving a household in the showroom, or return later. Please sanitise you hands upon entering the showroom. We are doing our best to sanitise the door handles, card machine and any handles on the stoves between customers. We kindly ask customers are patient with us as during busy periods they may be asked to refrain from touching the handles on the stoves until they are sanitised. We politely ask that you speak to a member of the team before touching any accessories or care products in the showroom, as this will allow our team to sanitise the products to ensure they are safe for the next customer to handle. Update: We kindly ask you wear an appropriate face mask/covering when visiting our showroom. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience at this challenging time.
