The Fireplaces · Four Houses, Seventy-Four Fires
Start with the only question that matters — wood, gas, or open sky — then walk into the house that makes it.
74 fires · 4 makers · WETT & TSSA installed by us
Wood
The ritual — logs you split, a match you strike, heat that soaks the whole floor. Two makers do it best, and we install every one WETT-inspected.
Wood · BelgiumBelgium’s wood fires — clean-lined stoves, glass-front fireboxes, and the round 30 that turns to face the room.
Wood · FranceFrance’s suspended sculptures — the Gyrofocus, the Ergofocus and their family, in wood and gas. Seventeen fires, each with its own page.
Gas
Real flame the moment you want it — no logs, no ash, no sweeping. Two makers, TSSA-installed and serviced by the crew that sold them.
Gas · CanadaCanadian gas fires — long linears, three-sided bays and big classics, built for modern walls.
Gas · Fireplaces, Inserts & StovesThe workhorses — gas fireplaces, freestanding stoves, and the inserts that slide into the fireplace you already have.
Outdoor
The evenings up here are the whole point of the cottage. These keep them going.
Not sure yet?
If the ritual is the point — the splitting, the crackle, the tending — it’s wood. If you’ll light it more often because it’s effortless, it’s gas. The honest answer: the fireplace you actually turn on is the better fireplace.
An empty wall means we build the whole thing, venting and all. An old drafty fireplace usually wants an insert — a sealed firebox that slides in and actually heats the room instead of the chimney.
Some of these are furnaces in nice suits; some are centrepieces that happen to be warm. Tell us the room and how you live in it, and we’ll tell you which is which.
