The fireplaces are precast with a special brew of concrete including fibres to ensure the fireplace will handle the heat. There's also a steel firebox to contain the heat and direct it out to those enjoying the fireplace's warmth. The Burton and Mini Burton have a steel chimney while the Douglas and Hudson use concrete chimneys.

The fireplace comes, as standard, as a bare concrete shell. However, we highly recommend that the outside of the fireplace is finished in some way as there can be imperfections in the concrete. The fireplace concrete shell can be finished with plaster, stone, schist, steel, brick etc.

The Burton and Mini Burton fireplaces are able to be pre-plastered and painted in our factory before delivery so they arrive in a close to ready fashion.
