Arched Inserts

One of the most popular types of fireplaces we sell the arched insert is at the centre of many of our fireplace packages.
Some are simple in design, like the Jubilee and others with more decorative features, such as the Lansdowne.

Cast Fireplaces were incredibly helpful when we were initially making enquiries regarding our bespoke fire surround. The overall choice was so comprehensive and we eventually settled on oiled oak. The ordering process couldn't have been more straight forward & we were advised of production time at that stage. Everything went very smoothly and delivery was as they had predicted, although we did feel that the delivery charge was rather excessive. However, we are delighted with the finished product and it really has become the focal point in our room. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Cast Fireplaces for their excellent customer care and product.

Great service all the way through to delivery. Arrived all in excellent condition. I phoned many times before purchasing and asked loads of questions and I was helped out with everything. Really appreciated all the help. I am totally chuffed to pieces with my new fireplace. Sorry for the mid build picture but our room is not quite finished yet so a bit of a dusty photo.

Response from the owner:Hi Lesley That looks stunning, really appreciate your feedback and taking time to leaving us a 5* review

First class communications and service from this company from start to finish. I knew exactly where the order was up to and when the fire surround would be delivered. It arrived promptly at the time I had been notified and was delivered by a very helpful chap who placed it exactly where I wanted it in the garage. I wish every company were as smooth and efficient to deal with as this one. Good range of products, great value for money and impeccable service ~ a winning combination that is rare these days.

Response from the owner:Good Morning and thanks for sharing photo of the fireplace we supplied. Thanks again for your order the fireplace chosen looks fantastic.

I love this company. We just needed an oak surround, but I almost feel like fitting another fireplace just to use them again. Mark went out of his way to enable us to call in when passing through, so we could see e surrounds in the flesh. We could then easily order on line, including customising. They waited for us to get back from holiday before dispatching, communication was great, and delivery was spot-on. And we have saved a pile of cash.

Response from the owner:Hi Andrew It was lovely to meet you both at the showroom and im very happy we managed to sort you out a bespoke mantel with shelf from some and parts from another. As you know we manufacture them so it was no trouble. Thanks again for your kind words you know where we are if you need another fireplace.

Sue Connolly

5 Star service. I made a mistake and forgot to order the infill pieces for the limestone fire surround. Despite living in Mid Wales, the the pieces were delivered within a week. Brilliant service and the surround is perfect. Thanks. Lee Connolly

Response from the owner:Hi Sue and Lee Happy to help I'm glad you like your new Brompton Limestone mantel. Very happy to hear the closures completed the look you were after and thanks again for shopping at Castfireplaces.

Arched fireplace black highlighted or polished

Choosing the style isn’t your only decision when it comes to arched inserts – they come in several finishes too. You can leave the cast iron plain black if you want a subtle, understated look; you could have it fully polished to really show it off, or you could choose the highlighted option, which is in the middle and, with the quality being second to none, choose a gallery-arched insert fire for your home.

Fitting an arched insert

Pretty much a standard size of 37” square, they are designed to be used with a fireplace surround. However, we have seen them fitted flush onto the plasterwork with a wooden trim around the edge, quite a nice simple finish. The choice is yours.

Offered with our usual setup of fuel options from the drop-down menus, we have arched fires to burn Wood – Coal – Gas – Electric and Bioethanol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quite simply put, this is the design feature of the fireplace, similar in shape to a horseshoe. I’ve heard it called this numerous times.

A few critical measurements for an Arch, the main being the overall size of the cast. Another important measurement is the decorative band which is raised. This needs to sit within the measurements of your surround opening.

The cast iron back is bolted to the fireplace and is part of the price. We also have a deeper back option for a few of our fireplaces, offering a large area for burning wood.
