The small fireplace, reborn.

The maker’s words — “clean face look — no louvers” on a hand-welded firebox.

I

The portrait window

A glass of 16½″ × 18¾″ that stands higher than it is wide — the classic small-fireplace proportion, with a “clean face look — no louvers.”

II

Any face you like

Victorian cast iron in Black or Antique Bronze, Contemporary, Minimal 3S or Modern surrounds — with Black Enameled, Ceramic Brick, Ledgestone or the included Steel liner behind the glass.

III

A hand-welded heart

A “hand welded firebox” with the “IPI System with Remote” and the “Clear View Safety Screen” — plus “top / rear venting options” for awkward chases.

Quick answers

The three things everyone asks.

Will it fit my fireplace?

If your masonry or ZC opening is at least 20¼″ wide, 27½″ tall and about 13⅛″ deep, the Q1 slides in — and the Trimmable Panel (36″ × 32″) covers the brick around it. Bring your three measurements to the showroom and we’ll confirm the surround that fits.

What happens to my chimney?

No new chimney — your existing one does the work. We run two continuous liners down it (a co-linear direct-vent pair, 3″ each; the maker also offers a Q1 co-linear venting adapter kit): one brings combustion air in, the other takes exhaust out, and the firebox stays sealed from your room. We sweep and inspect the chimney first, and every gas connection is made by TSSA-registered technicians.

Is the Victorian face really cast iron?

Yes — the Victorian face comes in Black or Antique Bronze with the scrollwork crown and slatted rail, and it’s one of six faces the Q1 wears. The firebox behind every one of them is the same hand-welded steel.
