Made to Measure Granite Hearth makes Customer Gallery

admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:39:13 +0000

Good Morning and im more than happy to share another photo of our made to measure granite hearths and todays photo comes from one of our Customers Mr Gilchrist who contacted us.
He required a made to measure front and back hearth on which to mount a multi fuel stove and has sent us various pictures of job in progress to give customers an idea of what exactly can be done.
We have include three photos on this artcle with a start middle and finishing photo
You can really transform a room fitting a multi fuel stove and looking at he photos supplied im sure our customer will agree what changing rooms experiance it has made.
As you can see it must have had quite a horrendous arched fireplace pattern in place and if you look carfully you can see where the original chimney breast was and from thats its a fairly simple job to remove the brickwork.
If you live in an old property is quite normal to find an existing chimney breast larger enough to take a multi fuel stove over the years the openings have normally been reduced to suit gas fireplaces.
So castfireplaces were contacted with some measurements and he placed an order for a made to measure hearth which was in two sections for the sub hearth and 4 sections for the front hearth all cut and slabbed for solid fuel use.
These 2 sections are then laid together and the joint grouted and then thats all that is required simple as that take a look at the photos supplied below and im sure you will agree what a transformation it is

Fireplace Tiles sold on there own make great hearths

admin — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 19:02:49 +0000

On our website we do sell fireplace hearth tiles individually so customers wanting to make there own hearths can do so normally to tile areas inside chimney breasts where you are going to sit a firebasket or even a free standing stove.
So a week or so ago we delivered a Kerastar Matt Black Tiled Hearth and some spare tiles to a customer in London SE9 and today i have recieved an email which says
Hi Mark,
Sorry for delay wanted it all to be finished. Have attached a photo of it in situ if any use for you.
Would reccommend your company to anyone, fast delivery and friendly service.
All the best
Steve

Looking at the photo sent it shows how the customer has used one of our stock size pre made hearths and then tiled the inner hearth area to match the front and im sure you will agree what a fantastic job it has made.
There is no way we can profile hearths to that type of measurement so using the spare tiles was the only option.
So if you do need some spare tiles for inside your fireplace or wish to make the whole hearth yourself or retile on top of an existing hearth you can either order them online or give us a calll and we can then work out how many you need.
Have a look at Mr Selters handiwork on the picture below

Tiger Plus Multi Fuel Stove added to our Customer Gallery

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:02:52 +0000

Its always nice to recieve photographs of customers fireplaces and stoves once they have been fitted so we can add them to our fireplace gallery and today we are pleased to add the Tiger Plus Stove and Barley Slate hearth.
We were contacted by this particular customer who came to view our showroom and in particular the Tiger Plus Stove.
We supplied them a made to measure Barley Slate hearth which was custom made to there fireplace opening after some discussion as to width and depths etc and how wide to make the front section.
Let me tell you these are not very light and i did not enjoy delivering it.
Also the chimney was to be lined with one of our 10 Metre Chimney lining kits which come with everything you need.
Finally the main feature is the Fantastic Tiger Plus Stove which i think is one of the best stoves availble on the market with a price tag of £325 gives amazing value for money too.
All that was left to do was arrange a fitter HETAS registered to install this all for them on this was completed on Saturday 11th September and looking at the photographs below it all looks brilliant.
The Bricks have been cleaned with brick acid and are part of the original chimney breast so see what can be achived with a little work and we are always here to advise you on what you could need

So take a look at the photo below and order yourself a new multi fuel stove just in time for the forthcoming cold winter months.

Jubilee and Oak Langley makes Customer Fireplace Gallery

castpine — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:30:26 +0000

Well it is a long time since since we sold Mr Stratford-Way his made to measure Langley solid oak surround which we manufactured for him so it would fit the Jubilee Arched insert.
We normally sell this particular oak mantel as the Coronet and Oak Langley as the surround is a 52″ wide and has no shelf so sites directly onto the hearth leaving a 1″ gap either side.
No our customer decided he wanted the Jubilee instead so we slighlty altered the dimensions of this mantel to suit the openings required to be used with the Jubilee and im sure as you will agree in the photos you can not tell as it looks very pleasing to the eye.
Now this fireplace was supplied with pushunder for solid fuel granite hearth but it appears not to have been fitted correctly and cut down a small measure im sure but i do like things to look the way they should needless to say our customer is very pleased and he emailed me this comment

I purchased the following Fire and surround from you in September and thought that you might like to see the finished item…………

It look fab and thanks for your help

Regards

Nigel Stratford-Way

So have a look at the before Photo

Now take a look at finished article

What a transformation this has made to this flat wall and now it has been fitted really makes a focal point and feature for this room

Mr Wing Adds his Edwardian Fireplace and Kingston Marble to our Gallery

castpine — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:45:10 +0000

Having supplied two fireplace orders to Mr Wing from Peterborough who i met on the last delivery early in the morning to deliver a Henley and Kingston Marble Package to i was very impressed by the Edwardain fireplace he had installed in one of his rooms.
Living in a lovely victorian house as he does both these fireplaces we have supplied him look fantastic now they are fitted.
Here below are the comments he left for our website

Dear all at Cast Fireplaces,

I would like to tell you how happy I am with the fireplaces you supplied. Excellent and friendly service both with order, delivery and advice. Both fireplaces top quality products at a very reasonable price.
I would not hesitate in recommending your company. 10/10

Andrew Wing
Peterborough

As you can see he is very happy with his fireplaces and i commented on seeing the Edwardian as i delivered the Henley that it looked really good he told me he had fitted it himself which we normally do not advise.
A few days after delivering i recieved photos of the Edwardian and also a picture of The Henley and Kingston have a look at the following pictures and see what effect can be achieved by having a fireplace installed.
Both Fireplaces we have supplied are for solid fuel use (Real Fire) and he has taken a photo of the both burning away very nicely so hope this gives you some idea of another fireplace and how it will look fitted in your home

Lytton and Pine Lincoln Fireplace is like changing rooms

castpine — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:19:49 +0000

Hi there I forgot completely to load yesterdays article continuing the theme of Customer photos so here it is all pre written so I do not have to do one today.

We have had a few photos sent us by our customers with there fitted fireplaces and today featured fireplace is the Lytton and Pine Lincoln Solid fuel package.
For this one we actually have a before and after photo so take a look at the 1st photo shown below

BEFORE PHOTO

This Gas Fireplace is hideous and is straight for the 1970s it even has little shelves on the side to place ornaments on I am amazed it was still working before being sent to the scrap heap.
Now take a peek at the new fireplace that was installed in its place a change from gas to solid fuel as well you may notice it is even burning away at a nice lump of wood.

This Lytton Highlighted fireplace goes very well with our plain Lincoln mantel and I am sure you will agree is a huge change of look and style in fireplace and is much more in keeping with any traditional home and with prices starting at £480 there really is no reason to put up with a fire from the past.
So if you feel like taking before and after photos and contributing to our Customer Fireplace gallery please feel free to email them and we will feature them and if you do see somebody with a outdated fire point them in our direction were just like changing rooms.

Tradition Highlighted now in our fireplace gallery

castpine — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:32:41 +0000

Cast Fireplaces were contacted by Samantha Clark to help source a cast iron fireplace and granite hearth to fit an existing surround the customer already had.
After confirming what size the existing surround including opening dimensions was and whether it was for gas or solid fuel use, we always ask these questions so we can recommend something that will not only fit but can be used for the purpose intended. After all this was discussed they decided to go with the Tradition Arched Insert in the Highlighted finish complete with a solid fuel kit.
This fireplace is ideal for solid fuel use as you can see in the photo you can got a good sized log on it this was supplied and is now fitted in the customers hallway greeting everyone that visits and as Sam saysâ€ most of our visitors comment on how well it goes in the hallâ€
We are always willing to give free helpful advice on all the products we sell and can often suggest products that you might think wouldnâ€™t fit or had not considered. We never lead customers into products you donâ€™t think are right but our good sound advice is often taken and customers are always pleased with the finished result.
So take a look at the photo Sam kindly sent us for our gallery and see what we can do for you.

Made to Measure Granite Fireplace Hearths

castpine — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:06:01 +0000

Here at Castfireplaces we supply Granite and Tiled Hearths in Standard and made to measure sizes we have offered this service since we started and it is very popular as many other companies offer just the standard range. There is nothing worse than if you have stripped wooden floors to see the concrete sub hearth underneath. We can also add the extra price of a made to measure hearth on to our package prices so you can still get a real bargain price whether your fireplace is for gas or solid fuel use. We were contacted by a Tim Renshaw from Huddersfield for a standard granite hearth and a Made to Measure Granite Hearth slab to sit inside the chimney Breast. After a few emails and a phone call the items were ordered on the 12/05/09 they arrived to us last Wednesday and were delivered early this morning. I was amazed when this afternoon a photo arrived of the hearth and the Sub hearth installed with the stove sitting on it. It has now been added to our Customer Gallery so others can see what our items look like when they have been fitted in our customerâ€™s houses. This made to measure service for our hearths takes between 1 â€“3 weeks depending on how busy hearth people are and you need to contact us so we can get you a price whether it be for gas or solid fuel use.

Pembroke full polished cast iron fireplace

castpine — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:53:38 +0000

My Pembroke

This is a photo from my lounge featuring the Pembroke Full Polish Fireplace we have this fireplace fitted on a 48″ black granite hearth and have a gas fire fitted with the pebble effect. It seems very strange photographing my own fireplace and adding it to our website for you all to see i suppose its because i am used to uploading photos from the brochure or ones we have taken in the studio to create good and clear images. Any way here goes you can see what we have got and how we have decorated i love this cast and am very pleased with how it looks on our chimney breast.

Anyway the Pembroke fireplace has been our best selling combination cast for a number of years now it is available in all Black finish (matt or black leaded) or as in this photo a complete full polish shiny finish. I prefer the full polish finish as i think its modern in style but also will suit a traditional looking room so it’s not out of place with a big plasma television and your leather suites thats all there is in our lounge so it then becomes our main focal point of the room (apart from the Xbox 360).

Have a look at my photo and see what you think if you want any help choosing a fire from us give us a ring or email us were here to offer free friendly advice.
