Pellet fireplaces
Our models are ducted, with two separately adjustable outlets that carry warm air to different rooms and let you control each one independently.

The flame, without compromise
The difference between a fireplace and a stove is not performance: it is what you see.
A stove is an object placed in a room, with its own structure, its own colour and a recognisable footprint. A pellet fireplace disappears inside its cladding: only the glass door remains visible, framed by the material you have chosen for the wall.
The result is that the flame becomes part of the architecture, not an appliance. That is why fireplaces are chosen during renovations or new builds, when the wall can still be designed around the fire.
Fireplace or stove?
In terms of performance they are comparable: the same combustion, the same efficiency, the same heat outputs. What changes is the installation.
A stove is ready to use. Once the flue is in place and it is plugged in, it works. If you move house, you take it with you.
A fireplace requires building work. The structure has to be built, the cladding finished and inspection access planned for maintenance. It is a construction project, not a purchase installed in a morning.
The question that guides the choice: are you renovating or furnishing? If the wall can still be designed, a fireplace delivers a result a stove cannot match. If the house is finished and you simply want heat, a stove is the sensible route.
The cladding is part of the design
We do not supply the cladding: it is built by whoever carries out the project, and it can be any material — plasterboard, marble, reconstituted stone, render. That is why two identical fireplaces can look completely different.
This freedom, however, has a consequence that must be considered at the design stage, not afterwards: the cladding must include inspection access.
A pellet fireplace requires scheduled servicing — usually once a year, more often with heavy use — and the technician must be able to reach the internal components. You therefore need access on one side, sized according to the installation manual of the chosen model.
Each model has its own requirements for ventilation, clearances and access. Read the installation manual before building the cladding, not afterwards: redoing building work costs far more than planning for it.
More rooms, more control
Our fireplaces have two separately adjustable ducted outlets. This is not a single duct split in two: the two supply outlets are controlled independently.
It means you can send more warm air to the bedroom and less to the hallway, or shut one off entirely when it is not needed. In a system heating rooms with different orientations and uses, it is the difference between an evenly heated home and one with a room that is too hot and another that is cold.
The time to plan the ducts is the same as for the cladding: at the design stage.
What heat output do you need?
The same rule applies as for stoves: roughly 1 kW per 10 m² in a home with average insulation, adjusted for insulation, ceiling height and climate zone.
With ducting, the area covered increases, because heat is distributed rather than concentrated in the room where the fireplace stands.
Oversizing matters more with a fireplace than with a stove: the unit is built in and cannot be replaced without demolishing the cladding. Sizing must be done right the first time.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cladding included?
No. The cladding is the responsibility of whoever carries out the work and can be any material: plasterboard, marble, stone, render. We supply the unit and the technical guidance needed to build it correctly.
Are inspection openings required?
Yes. The cladding must include access on one side so the components can be reached during scheduled servicing. Size and position depend on the model and are specified in the installation manual.
Can I install a pellet fireplace in a finished home?
Yes, but it involves building work: the structure, the cladding, routing the ducting and any changes to the flue. If building work is not on the cards, a stove delivers the same heat with no construction.
How does it differ from a hydro pellet fireplace?
An air fireplace heats the room it is in and, if ducted, the connected rooms. A hydro pellet fireplace heats the water in the heating system and supplies the radiators throughout the house. See our hydro pellet fireplaces.
How much maintenance does it need?
Routine cleaning of the glass and ash pan, plus annual servicing by a technician. How often depends on operating hours and pellet quality.
Can it be ducted to two different rooms?
Yes. Our models have two independently adjustable ducted outlets, so the airflow can be set differently for each supply outlet.
