Why are central fireplaces a popular design?

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.

What is a central fireplace?

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.

Does a fireplace have to be central?

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.

Where is the best place to put a central fireplace?

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.

How do you install central fireplaces?

When it comes to installing a central fireplace, we will advise you what will be involved when we receive details of your project, based on the model you choose and the space it will be placed within. Rest assured, we will ensure a thorough installation process that is guaranteed by our aftercare service.

Are suspended and hanging fireplaces safe?

Suspended and hanging fireplaces are completely safe when installed, maintained and operated properly. It’s important to consider some key aspects.

  1. First, the structural and load bearing integrity of the ceiling and the walls where the fireplace will be installed must be considered. We will guide you with the necessary technical requirements, that work with your particular project and selected model combination.
  2. Second, we will advice regarding your preferred fuel choice, and ensure that the necessary ventilation, CO detection, heat protection and efficient removal of waste product requirements are fully met.
  3. Third, hanging and central fireplaces will be secured against the pendulum effect if required, and sufficient load bearing will be designed within the ceiling structure.
How much does it cost to install a central fireplace?

The cost of installing a central fireplace will vary, depending factors, such as the type and style of fireplace, the complexity of the installation and the project location. During our design and proposal phase, we will provide you with full, itemised quotation to cover the necessary installation costs, particular to your exact project.

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.

Background

With its signature JC Bordelet suspended hood and return, brick hearth and flawless finish, the Julietta 985 fireplace was one of the first designed by Jean Claude Bordelet. Even at that early stage, it introduced a simple yet daring style to home interiors.

The 985 central fireplace was one of the first designs, however he was not entirely happy with a corner version created simply by cutting a section out. So the hood was completely redesigned to beautifully sit in the corner of a room, with the break in the central connecting line giving this model its unique character. It offers a particularly beautiful view of the wood fire.The suspended version gives the flames a nice height, the large windows allow to see the fire all around this fireplace. The silk-screened windows, from which it gets its "black line" designation, allow a larger view of the flames.

This fireplace can take 50 cm logs, which is rare for a wood stove. Suspending a fireplace is a mark of the know-how of the JC Bordelet design office and its boilermaker employees. With this model of Julietta 985 fireplace you will choose a different but efficient wood stove.

The floor-standing Julietta 985 fireplace, with its interplay of rounded shapes and sharp lines, combines the elegant curves of its hood with the cube space of its firebox. This is how JC Bordelet achieved a fireplace with a large fire and generous view of the flames while ensuring a balanced, visually appealing design. The screen-printed glass panels emphasising the bottom of the hood are to the fire what a velvet case is to a set of jewels. They showcase the flames yet remain discreet.
