Here at Castfireplaces we are always listening to what our customers ask for and a few have said they would like a bigger choice in smaller limestones for small chimney breasts.
So listening to this we are currently having designed some 48″ limestones and a new arch to go with them.
Following on form the huge sucess of the Jubilee Highlighted insert we are having made a Coronet Highlighted insert which is smaller than the jubilee but will be polished in exactly the same way.
This new insert will be sold alongside our current very popular Black and Half polished Coronets all available with the same fantastic mantel choices.
Suitable for solid fuel, gas and electric use this arched insert is sure to be a big seller ane below is a photo straight from China showing the polished finish and how it looks.
The cast iron back and bars are from the half polished coronet so basically its just the different polishing details that makes it different so all our current gas fires and solid fuel kits will slot straight in withouht the need for designing new versions.
So feast your eyes on the new Fireplace and i can assure you this will be the first time anybody has seen this as it has only been emailed to me about an hour ago.

A nice simple question asked by a customer at 4pm today as to whether we have the particular black arched insert in stock and to see if he could pop over and collect it.
So a nice end to the day was a call again to The Factory to meet the couple who had travelled form Leics, payment taken item was quickly loaded up after viewing it in our showroom just to be sure it was the one they wanted and they were on their way.
Very nice and easy they knew exactly what they wanted and found us by google search which we pay a small fortune for to appear on the first few pages for various fireplace phrases.
So its always nice to see our advertising working and even better to have a collection so if you are local to us or indeed wish to travel out to see us (theres plenty to visit our way) just give us a ring prior to your arrival and we can meet you at our Showroom and Factory and show the some of the best fireplaces in the UK and as you will see all of the items in our showroom we have in stock for you to take way so if you come in a large car or even a van like todays late evening customers you can save on the delivery charge too.

A strange question was asked this morning as to whether we can supply an LPG gas insert which is Liquefied petroleum gas to us normal folk or bottled gas as it is more often known.
Now i thought i had covered this in our fireplace packages options but someone has asked me if an LPG unit can be supplied for the Coronet and Henlow Limestone Fireplace.
So im not sure how they missed it but after running through it with them an order has been placed excpet they went for the Crown and 54″ Henlow after a bit of advice regarding sizes etc.
Anyway these LPG gas fires are supplied by Nuflame which is a good UK Brand and im not sure why they are so much more expensive they tell me its something to do with the jets and the way it burns im not 100% convinced all i know is they cost us an extra £150 inc VAT hence the price difference on the packages.
So another order is placed and will be on its way to Rural Lincolnshire where they do not have mains gas however I have been told before by a previous customer the difference in price these days between Natural and LPG gas is not too much different so if you do require an lpg fire for all your fireplaces and even our stoves us here at Castfireplaces are able to supply that for you at prices that won’t make your eyes water

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
Hi
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

The Coronet is basically a smaller version of the Crown arched insert and it is available in Black and Half Polish only a few years ago we used to offer Full polished but that has been discontinued.
The Coronet has a smaller back which requires an opening of
Width 18″
Height 30.5″ (inc hearth height)
Depth 6.3″
This smaller measurement is ideal for chimney breasts that do have a narrow opening so when space is at a premium it is great to move to a smaller cast.
We do sell this fireplace for solid fuel use but as the opening is smaller it does not have the largest area for burning solid fuel but can still fit on 1 decent size log.
When using for gas or electric use we use the standard cast iron back that comes with this fireplace and fit a ng9 insert to it for gas use and pj9 for electric use.
We only supply the Oak Lincoln mantel in a 48″ shelf width to go with Coronet as the opening is smaller on the 48″ surround and is ideally suited to the size of the Coronet.
The oak lincoln is made from 100% solid american oak and finished in the finest Liberon Finishing oil to give it the lovely colour we achieve we do not wax oak as this is not how it should be seen
It really makes a difference to the finish of the surround to see the natural beauty of the timber as nature intended.
So if you want to buy the Coronet and Oak Lincoln which is this months featured fireplace just click on photo below.

As a lot of our website visitors know we do late night viewings at our showroom in Langley Mill and tonight we have had a customer come and view a Firefox 5 Stove and then take this item home with him in his car. Earlier today a customer drove from Northampton to view and went home with a Firefox 8 Stove
I have also done an out of hours delivery in Derby of another Firefox 5 so I am now sat in my office writing this article before I switch pc off.
It has been local delivery day today and I have been to Heanor to drop off Pembroke Full Polish package and then back to the workshop for a building contract company from Slough who came to collect a Coronet and Brompton package so I have had a busy little day running round delivering and arranging collections.
I have done some price alterations later this afternoon on our website update so another few days doing that and it will be ready to go live I could do with starting to work nights too to get it all done.
We normally try and finish for 8 pm but its now 9.30pm and I still have a couple more invoices to do before I switch off and open up a tin of Jupiter beer that Nina brought me when I got to work this morning I had this comment from her
Hi Mark,
We had a great trip to the UK, it was an easy to find meeting point and it was indeed lovely to see you as well.
We arrived late at home (11 pm Belgian time).
Thanks Mark, see you later.
Regards, Nina
I thought I worked late sometimes but it’s all in a days work here at castfireplaces
Right I am off to get a beer now then walk the dog.

Well I was supposed to be off work today but I had to go the factory to finish off loading one of our vans for Sundays London run as I ran out of time yesterday.
I also had 2 appointments at 10.30 and 11.00 am so it worked at well doing those and finishing loading the van.
Both customers ordered fireplaces after viewing our showroom one even ordered a made to measure mantel when they saw the Oak Stourhead but wanted it in pine, which is no problem as we manufacture our own surrounds.
The other customer had rung us yesterday to ask if we had Coronet and Brompton Limestone Package in stock as they wanted to get it fitted as they were having carpets laid Monday and another company in Nottingham had quoted 2 weeks delivery so they searched online and found us.
They arrived in Transit Van and looked at items on display then went away saying not only had they saved over £250 they did not have to put off carpet fitter so they were very pleased.
This is one of the reasons why we keep so much in stock it just makes it easy for us to lad our vans from stock and customers can collect straight away if they choose to.
This and many other reasons why shopping for a fireplace or stove at Castfireplaces is quicker, easier and cheaper than other fireplace companies whether they be internet sellers or high street shops

So the next Category we feature is the best selling Cast iron Fireplace of the month this month it is a draw between the Black Pembroke and the Full Polished Pembroke both of which we have featured before so we are going to feature the third best seller which is the Coronet and Palmerston I really like this package and its perfect for fireplaces that need to be larger than a standard cast iron combination fireplace to make more of a feature.
The Palmerston 48” in Full Polish finish looks at home best with a smaller arch such as the coronet and the feature of the matt black insert with the Full polish of the surround really sets it off.
We have sold both solid fuel and gas versions of this package this month and this package is featured on display in our showroom and we have sold two from this display when customers had originally come to view an alternative fireplace.
Gallery have decided to discontinue the black version of the 48” Palmerston mantel but the 48” full polish version will still continue to be sold by us here at Castfireplaces so take a look at the picture below and order yourself Septembers 3rd best selling Cast Iron Fireplace

So we start the featured Fireplace best sellers for September and the 1st one as usual is the best selling Limestone Package and it is the Coronet and Brompton this package looks fantastic in the 51” version and is ideal for smaller chimneybreasts or where space is restricted.
Also very popular this month was the Coronet and Henlow, which is even smaller at 48” which again suits the smaller chimneybreast.
All the Coronet and Brompton packages were sold for gas use with the Half Polish coronet insert which is strange not to have even sold one solid fuel option.
I have even checked the item on our website today to make sure it was still available as an option and I hadn’t deleted it whilst updating our website.
The Agean Limestone Brompton surround is normally our best selling limestone surround so its no surprise to feature this item but the Coronet has done well to dislodge the Jubilee or Henley arched fireplaces.
As I said earlier it must be due to the smaller size chimneys our customers are fitting fireplaces too.
So if you like our featured fireplace click on the picture below and order Septembers best selling limestone Fireplace

So we start off with our Featured Fireplace Packages with the Limestone Section as normal with a worthy winner for the month in the Coronet and Brompton Limestone Package
We supply this Arched inserts in two finishes the Half Polish as shown in the photo or in the Matt Black Finish. This package is ideally suite to chimneybreasts with a smaller opening and smaller width as its ideal for both of these as the mantel is available in a 51” version which all of these sold in July were.
Gas packages were again very popular in this months sales of this package and we sold all of them for gas use bar one, which was for electric use.
This is probably due to the fact that the Coronet has a smaller opening and grate size so can only burn a small amount of solid fuel so we normally recommend its big Brother the Crown for solid fuel use, which has larger area for burning wood.
I really like this package and Gallery have finally featured it in their 2008 –2009 brochure on page 2 so customers can now see this package in the brochure which always leads to an increase in sales of any product featured and with prices starting from £595 it’s a real bargain too
See what you think to this months best selling limestone fireplace in the picture below and if you like it why not click on link above to take you straight through to the item on our website.
