Langley Solid Oak Fireplace Mantel

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

The Second featured item of our new Modern Fireplaces is the Langley Solid Oak Surround. This Oak mantel has no overhang on the shelf so it is made in a box section style that is very simple. Made form 100% solid American oak and finished in a natural oiled finish it is a very simple design fireplace surround and is perfectly suited to Modern Day Living. With a size of 52” shelf width and an opening of 34” x 34” this surround will take a lot of our Larger Arched Inserts. On our Website we have listed them as Gas, Electric and Solid Fuel packages such as the Coronet and Langley solid fuel package this shows how the Modern surround can be mixed with a simple arched fireplace to create a Cast iron fireplace package that has modern appeal.
This design of surround is also suited to electric and gas packages with the simple Granite Panel and hearth set and we have listed those too in Our Modern Fireplaces Sections which comes with the Fires and a choice of trim and fret to personalise the look you are after. Also available is the new Gallery Aurora high output glass fronted fire which has also been photographed with this mantel so as you can see from the photos below this surround will work well with a lot of the current range we offer that’s why we are sure we will have a great selling surround to offer our customers a good choice when choosing a firplace for your home.

Increase in sales of Gas Fireplaces

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

April and May have seen a significant return to the sales of Gas Fireplaces. All through the colder months it seemed to be Solid fuel fireplaces we were selling, we do keep all data from our sales and process this to reveal which products are selling better and what if any trends are appearing. This info gives us an insight of what products to stock up with and what size of levels to keep in stock. Januarys figures showed that 31% of all Bargain fireplace packages sold was for gas use when you compare this to Aprils figure of 41% this is an increase of 10%. This rise in gas sales has something to do with the cold weather going and also due to the fact that gas prices have been lowered by our energy suppliers. With this in mind we will need to monitor these figures over the next few months to make sure we have enough Gas inserts and Granite hearths for gas use in stock when it comes to Heating season when the weather changes. Our Most popular gas fireplaces are the likes of an arched insert with Limestone surround such as the Henley and Brompton this package sells very well in gas and solid fuel use as its perfect for most houses.
Also of interest for customers who want fires for gas use is the New H/E gas fire from gallery I will feature it tomorrow as its one of the best on the market.

Modern Fireplace Aprils best seller

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

The Modern Fireplace best seller for April was an unusual winner its normally one of our Jura-Stone Suites but this month it has been the turn of the Granite Panel and Pine Lincoln package for gas use. This simple package consists of the Pine Lincoln mantel available in 48” or 54” shelf widths, this timber surround is made from solid pine and is hand waxed to get old traditional “Antique Pine” finish we can also supply unfinished if you wish to stain or wax it yourself.
The Granite Panel is a standard 37” x 37” panel with opening of 16” x 22” which will accept any standard gas or electric fireplace all this comes complete with granite hearth to match mantel size and with all our packages you do not need anything else. This month we have sold them all with Hotbox fire sets. This is the gallery hotbox fibre back which is more efficient than standard back and class 1 gas insert with a choice of  Trim and Fret in any colour from our range. The best seller was the polished Bauhaus which has a nice contemporary feel to it and compliments the shiny Black granite panel. With its simple clean plain lines and modern looks I should not be surprised it’s a good seller its just the 1st time our jura-stone suites have been toppled from there perch, so I will wait and see what the end of the month brings as too whether they can reclaim there number one fireplace slot again.

Wooden Fireplace of the Month

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

I can not believe we are already into May i promised myself at the end of the month we would feature the best selling fireplaces in the Limestone, Cast iron, Modern and Wooden range we sell as packages so here is the 1st post of many for his category even if it’s late.

April’s winner was by a long shot and is the Crown and Oak Lincoln Gas Package We sell this fireplace in 3 different finishes and 3 different sizes ranging from 48″ to 54″. The Crown Arched Insert is a simple plain arched fireplace with very little decorative detail making it very popular with customers wanting something not too fussy combined with our Oak Lincoln Mantel it makes a really great looking fireplace set. The Crown is available in Black, Half Polished (polished inner band) or for the true modern look Full Polished (Completely Silver) so this one cast fireplace has many looks. The Oak mantel is made from 100% solid american oak and is natural in colour having an oiled finish its very simple in design with no corbels or fancy mouldings so really compliments the Crown making a fireplace thats modern looking but retains a victorian theme, have a look and see what you think. We do sell both of these items on there own if you were just wanting to change your existing mantel or insert or dont want to buy a full package we also sell package for solid fuel too.

This months winner was the Half Polish version so im showing the photo of this below

The Gas Safe Register came into effect on 1st April 2009. There is now no such thing as being “CORGI registered”. All Fireplace fitters and installers wishing to carry out gas work must be registered with “Gas Safe Register”.This follows a complete review by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) into how the existing CORGI provisions was working.

The result is that the ‘Gas Safety Register’ has now been set up and as from April 1st 2009 “CORGI” will no longer be relevant.

In the past, customers would have used Corgi registered fireplace fitters now please make sure your fitter has the relevant cards and is registered with the Gas Safety Registar to allow them to carry out your fireplace installation when using it for gas use. For solid Fuel HETAS is still in use with no change to there governing body.

Every engineer will carry a Gas Safe Register ID card with their own unique licence number, showing the type of gas work they are qualified to do. Before any gas work is carried out, always make sure you ask to see their Gas Safe Register ID card.
