Be Modern Fireplace Surrounds

Be Modern have just updated their collection of fireplace surrounds and have brought new finishes to existing products as well as brand new products to their range.
As seen opposite the Beatrice fire surround is now available in natural black granite as well as natural white marble and the Sahara micro-marble finishes and comes with matching back panel and hearth to the corresponding mantle surround finish. Another new granite fireplace surround is the Roberto surround. The Roberto has a 54inch shelf width and 65mm rebate and comes with matching back panel and hearth.
Also new to the range is the Paloma fireplace surround which has a choice of either manila or white micro-marble finish with matching back panel and hearth. As with all micro-marble products they are not recommended to be used with a fire that is solid or multi fuel. This is because the high temperatures that can be attained by these fires may effect the surround, back panel or hearth (usually discolouring, but with the possibility of melting the resin in the micro-marble).
The Carmela 50 inch surround is another micro-marble set that comes with surround, back panel and hearth. The Carmela is in a manila finish and has the option to have downlights fitted if desired. This option is only available with a 25mm rebate but a 75mm rebate is available (without downlights).
The Lucien surround is the final of the new be modern products to be unveiled. The Lucien comes in a choice of 3 finishes that include a white micro-marble set including matching hearth and back panel, a pearl stone version and uniquely a white micro-marble surround with natural black granite back back panel and hearth that creates quite a stylish contrasting look.
All of the new be modern fire surround sets include mantle surround, back panels and hearths and they have been designed to work with most standard sized gas and electric fires.
Get the latest look, with contemporary design and modern finishes from one of the leading manufacturers be modern.

Acquisitions X-Fire Widescreen Catalytic Flueless Gas Fire

Acquisitions X-Fire Widescreen Catalytic Flueless Gas Fire is a glass fronted catalytic flueless gas fire available from Acquisitions and is the answer to anyone looking for a hang on the wall gas fire in their living space, but without the luxury of a chimney or an external wall.

The X-Fire uses state of the art catalytic converter technology to convert the harmful exhaust gases into Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapour. This means that providing the room has a volume of at least 40m3 and some sort of ventilation of at least 100cm2 then this fire can be situated in almost any room of the household.

The 3.5kW of heat output and 100% efficiency mean that no energy is wasted when heating the room, meaning the temperature of the room is raised higher and quicker than with a conventional sub-50% open gas fire or even a 2kW FAN-ASSISTED electric heater, with a 3.5kW gas fire able to raise the temperature in a room a noticable 5*C in under 20 minutes, this temperature increase would be difficult to achieve with any other type of fire, with a 6kW conventionally flued fire taking up to an hour to raise the temperature by the same amount.

The Acquisitions X-Fire Widescreen is available in Limestone, Granite or a Mirrored finish, (An X-Fire with the Granite finish is currently on display and fully working at The Fireplace Megastore Showroom.
The Black Granite finish combines with the black back to really draw attention to the bright orange flames of the fire, and using Acquisitions unique RX3 Reflexion Flame that makes the flame effect and firebox appear deeper than they really are, reducing weight and allowing the freedom to hang the fire on almost any wall.
The individuality of the natural granite or limestone means no X-fire is ever the same, with the natural limestone prone to fossils and natural inclusions from the stone being formed over millions of years! The rich dark depth of the natural granite and RX3 RefleXion Flame create a very deep and contemporary fireplace while the uniqueness of the limestone and the fact that it is literally a one of a kind fire make this fire a must in any contemporary living space.

Drugasar Global 100 Balanced Flue Gas Fire

The Drugasar Global 100BF is another stylish addition to the Drugasar range of balanced flue gas fires, designed primarily for homes without the luxury of a chimney, The Global 100 boasts a viewing window 950mm across and 350mm high to create that ultra-fashionable letterbox look.

The Global 100 is available on both natural gas and LPG with a high efficiency rating of 73%, developing a massive output of 6.5kW, more than enough to heat even the more spacious of living spaces.

The rustic and realistic log fuel effect of the Global 100 really recreates the feeling of sitting in front of a traditional wood fire, especially when the log fuel effect starts to glow in the flames, this can be highlighted when combined with the black interior or for a more traditional and slightly more cosy feel then go for the natural profile interior.

If you're looking for the fire to provide that quick burst of heat then the Dru MaxVent system can be purchased with the fire to provide that extra burst of heat. As soon as the fire has reached the desired temperature, the fan switches on automatically, basically accellerating the natural heat convection around the fire. The MaxVent system draws cold air in around the base of the fire and blows it around the outside of the firebox, warming it in the process, this warm air is then blown out of the top of the fire, providing up to 25% extra heated air that helps quickly take that cold edge off a room.

The Drugasar Global 100 is available in very contemporary and minimalist frameless version that provides a seamless finish between the wall and the fire, or can be purchased with the Alpha, a classic narrow frame that defines the edges of fire while not detracting from the appearance of the fire in the centre. Or for a more bold a statement then the Beta trim would be the way to go, this trim really gives the fire definition and grabs the attention of anyone in the room, while contrasting the glow of the flames inside.

The minimalist or classic black frames work well with almost any style of interior decor, complimenting and harmonising with more contemporary interiors or contrasting and creating a focal point when used in a slightly more traditionally furnished household.

Apex Mystique

The Apex Mystique is another quality fire from the Apex range of fires. The Apex Fires Mystique is available in both a three-sided version to sit on a hearth in a traditional fireplace or in a four-sided Hole-In-The-Wall Version for a more contemporary look.

The Mystique is available in Black, Brushed Steel, Copper and Dusted Silver providing the flexibility to fit in with almost any living space colour scheme, while the fuel bed can also be customised with either black or polished sides, the polished sides create the illusion of an even larger fuel bed, while the black sides highlight the flames and really do make the living gas flames the centre of attention.
For added versatility and flexibilty to suit almost any taste the Mystique is available with either a pebble or coal fuel effect. The coal effect provides the ultimate sense of realism thanks to the ultra-deep fuel bed, that when combined with the fact that Apex Mystique is one of the deepest high-output, open-fronted radiant fires available on the market today and the living gas flames give a real sense of a solid fuel fire, while the pebble fuel effect provides a more contemporary effect.

The strong right angles and sleek edges of this fire give a very cubist and almost futurist look and combine to make a very modern effect that is emphasised by the two levels of trim around the fire. The first level defines the fire and draws the attention in, while the second level frames the fuel effect and makes the flames the centre of attention. This fire can also sport the luxury of a remote control that means you can control this fire from the luxury of your armchair.

The 4.2kW heat output of the fire provides plenty of heat output for the average sized living space and fill the room with the highly desirable glow and warmth that is so eagerly sought after during the winter months.

This highly stylish and modern fire also now comes with complete with a 5 year manufacturer's warranty, that means that not only does this fire come with a sense of style, but it also comes with peace of mind.

Defra Approved Stoves


Defra Approved Stoves in a nutshell are stoves that have been tested and passed the criteria for being used in a smoke controlled area.
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs undergo the testing and will approve stoves that are suitable for use in smoke controlled areas.
The Defra Approved logo is becoming more used within the stove industry with some companies even using Defra as a category for stoves. Defra Approval is given when for the burning of wood, although the approval may be given on multi-fuel or solid fuel stoves, the approval is for the burning of wood only in a smoke controlled area, so if you live in a smoke controlled area you can have the stove you have always wanted.
One of the latest stoves to be Defra approved is the Aarrow Ecoburn 5 Wood Burning Stove and can be seen on Stove Megastore in the Defra approved category. Click on the link above for more information on the Ecoburn 5.
