If you’re interested in an outdoor fireplace, you’re likely overwhelmed with brands and designs. The question is — which outdoor fireplace is best for you?
In this article, we cover the top seven reasons to choose a Trendz fireplace, including the heat output, cooking capabilities, design options, installation, and more.
7 reasons to choose a Trendz fireplace
1. Steel firebox
Our fireplaces feature a 6mm thick steel firebox and a double-skinned back plate for maximum durability. We’ve incorporated specially designed baffles in the top of the firebox, radiating warmth and increasing heat output. Combined with cooking abilities, these fireboxes are perfect for any outdoor application.
The sleek and minimalist design of our fireboxes also uplifts and complements your entertaining area. They are available in standard black steel or can be upgraded to a stainless steel finish in satin black.
2. Easy installation
Our outdoor fireplaces are prefabricated for easy installation, only requiring a small amount of work on-site. Firstly, you’ll need a concrete pad for the fireplace unit to sit on — you can contract this out or do it yourself. Then we deliver the fireplace to a depot and then you just need to arrange a hiab truck to bring it to site and place it onto your concrete pad.
Once the fireplace is in position, if the fireplace has been supplied plastered and painted then you will simply just need to attach the wood boxes (if ordered), slide the flue on and you are ready to go. If you purchased it in bare concrete then you may need to fill the inside with concrete and set the firebox up as part of the installation. The Trendz team can help advise which option is best for you.
3. Heat output and cooking ability
Our outdoor fireplaces offer dual ability, with powerful heat output and cooking capabilities in one unit. If you enjoy hosting and dining outdoors, this combination makes it easy, keeping your guests warm, comfortable, and well-fed.
Compared to a brick firebox, our steel fireboxes heat up quickly, enabling oven-style cooking. You can easily prepare a range of delicious dishes without going inside, from pizza to grilled meat, to vegetables. For example, check out this recipe for barbequed chicken.
4. Made in New Zealand
Our fireplaces are designed and manufactured right here in New Plymouth, New Zealand. As part of that, we know the full range of climates in our country and have designed our fireplaces to withstand all of New Zealand’s harsh weather conditions.
If you want to see our fireplaces on display, we often exhibit at Mystery Creek Fieldays and the Wanaka A&P Show. We also have a display area in Auckland, where you can visit the 24/7 showroom at any time. When you decide on a fireplace, we can deliver it anywhere in New Zealand, Australia and the USA.
5. Exceptional quality
Our outdoor fireplaces are built to last, with a high-quality reinforced concrete structure. All Trendz fireplaces come with a 2-year warranty, covering structural cracking and failure of the steel firebox.
With minimal fireplace maintenance, including painting it with Stove Bright® High-Temperature aerosol paint, you can ensure your Trendz fireplace looks and performs its best for many years to come.
6. Customisable accessories
