Standardisation for Fireplaces

Is a change coming to the way we manufacture fireplaces. 

British Standard BS1251: 1987 is currently undergoing a major review, this standard covers the manufacture of fireplaces and their components. Currently the standard (due to it's age) is aimed at fireplaces for solid fuel use, however there is widespread feeling that it should apply to all fireplaces, regardless of fuel type.

I am looking for industry views on this subject, and I would welcome comments from any UK based manufacturer or importer of fireplaces, and or components covered under BS1251. As an industry you will have an ideal opportunity to have your voice heard on this important matter. Don't let it go to waste, have your say now, not when it's all been decided for you.  

If you have any comments please feel free to drop me a line, with your comments and company contact details.

Exclusive Line now available in the UK

We are currently looking for dealers to take on the new ‘Exclusive Line’ collection of contemporary marble fire surrounds. Designed by Josep Guiu and manufactured in Spain by Arriaga Stone, this collection of fireplaces brings a fresh approach to fireplace design.

A fact recognised by the international ‘Red Dot’ Awards 2009 when they awarded an Honourable mention for the models, Sun, Cubic and Modus.

Available in a choice of 5 natural marbles, they can be supplied to suit a range of Stuv, Bodart & Gonay & Fondis inset wood burning stoves. Alternatively we can supply a gas flame insert to suit.

If your showroom would like to display this exciting collection please ring Richard on 01243 373431 or email richard@emsworth.co.uk
