A floating fireplace, or designer fireplace more generally, can add as much as 5% to your property value. Not only that, but luxury fireplaces such as the models we sell here at Caleo can provide an even greater return on investment. A report found that adding a £3,000 fireplace can add as much as £10,000 onto the value of your property, which is a 233% ROI. If completed as part of wider renovation works, that figure can easily skyrocket, since an inviting fireplace is always going to be a welcome addition in any home.
Floating fireplaces free up floor and wall space - due to the fireplace being attached to the ceiling, this creates the illusion that the fireplace is floating off of the ground. Not only is this effect effortlessly elegant in any setting, but it also means that the floor and wall space are not taken up by the fireplace. Floating fireplaces can also add structure to an otherwise sparse room, whether you plan to add pieces of furniture or keep the room pared back. A traditional fireplace in an empty or large space could make the room look unfinished. But with a floating fireplace, you have endless options at your disposal without losing an ounce of style.
Yes. Fire is most associated with wood, with wood burning fireplaces offering the perfect mix between rustic charm and modern convenience. A suspended log burner (also known as a hanging log burner or floating fireplace), brings the satisfying view of the wood burning down into your eye line, rather than being down on the ground as is the case with a campfire. Also enjoy the ambiance around 360º with a fully glazed, or rotating appliance. With a high efficiency glass fronted design, modern suspended wood burners are an architectural delight, and very desirable delivering clean burning and high efficiency.

Within all areas of design and construction, trends are constantly evolving and in the quest for high performing, high quality design led solutions, the central fireplace, also known as suspended, floating or hanging fireplace (when not using a base pedestal) is a must have for the most discerning clients and spectacular spaces.
With fireplaces previously banished to the corner of the room, or hidden away within a draughty chimney breast, central fireplaces quite literally make both the warmth and visual aesthetics of your fireplace centre stage in any environment they are placed within.
Their panoramic design sets them apart from traditional options as you can gather around the fire in a circle while entertaining or spending quality time with loved ones and everyone gets to witness the truly impressive centrepiece.
Central fireplaces with glass enclosures are available in several of our models means no matter where you’re positioned in the room, you’ll always get the best possible view.
Modern central fireplaces serve as a visual point in the room whilst making a striking design statement. With a traditional fireplace, the fire itself is cast away, sitting flush against the wall or built into a chimney structure. However, a modern central fireplace seeks to make the fireplace a focal piece.
With a central fireplace, the fireplace itself envelops a floor to ceiling design, allowing for maximum visual impact. Not only does it look stunning, but a modern central fireplace is an excellent way to add value to your home or commercial space. Often used to define spaces, without building walls... a central fireplace offers the perfect divider maintaining an open aspect and flow of light within a room.
Ceilings are perhaps the most underused aspect of any room, normally reserved for a fresh coat of plaster or at most a ceiling fan.
A ceiling suspended fireplace quite literally reinvents how the space is utilised and in doing so, provides not only an ambient level of warmth to the whole room but a striking focal piece too.
Fireplaces come in many different configurations including corner design, wall design and of course, central design fireplaces. We would be more than happy to run through the full range of options depending on the type of space you are working with.
Though at a glance, central fireplaces bring the fireplace into the eye line of those in the room, rather than placing the fireplace against the wall or in the corner.
Placing the fireplace in the centre of the room is a favoured technique of architects and designers, as it adds an unexpected yet elegant twist from a design standpoint.
Wall hanging fireplaces are similar to ceiling suspended fireplaces in that they cover the full length height of the room, but do so sitting flush against the wall rather than sitting in the middle of the room.
A wall hanging fireplace makes for an ideal option for homeowners who want to retain the traditional look of a fireplace but with a contemporary twist.
Suspended fireplaces give the illusion that the fire is floating above the ground. With a wall mounted suspended fireplace, the wall offers a sense of structure, as the flue gently directs your gaze down to the flickering flames below. Yet, the generous clearance between the fire and the floor offers a most intriguing twist on the classic fireplace design. Wall mounted suspended fireplaces can be paired with a statement wall colour or a paired back decor alike.
Take a look at the JC Bordelet Zelia 908 as an example.
A central fireplace needs open space around it to maximise it’s visual aesthetic as well as ensuring the warmth and ambiance travels evenly across the room to avoid any cold spots.
For vast open spaces, traditional fireplaces may fail to adequately warm the space evenly, whereas a central heat producing fireplace will distribute the warmth gently across the entire room, creating a mesmerising focal piece as it does so.
With careful flue design and technical consideration, we can often find the perfect location for your central fireplace.

Like any other type of fireplace, regular service and maintenance will be necessary.
Just because your fireplace is spectacular, unusual and bespoke.. the processes are much the same as the average fireplace.
Annual chimney sweeping for wood burning, an annual GAS SAFE engineer service for gas products would usually suffice.
Maintaining a hanging fireplace is important to ensure its safety and prolong its lifespan. Regularly clean the fireplace to remove any soot and debris. Regularly inspect the hanging fireplace for any signs of damage, such as cracks or loose parts. Check the chimney at least once a year to ensure that it is clean and free of any blockages. Consult your carbon monoxide detector to ensure dangerous toxins are being removed from the surrounding air.
