A Franco Belge Fireplace For A Classic Touch

Consider a Franco Belge fireplace if you are keen to bring in a classic and even vintage aesthetic to your home.

The Franco Belge range is typically square in design with the exception of the Continental MF which is available in green. Most of the fireplaces are multi-fuel burning stoves which not only accommodate wood but other smokeless fuels in order to heat a room. A Franco Belge fireplace can heat an area of 180m³ to an area of up to 420m³.

The heat resistant glass doors and panels of these fireplaces are designed to provide maximum visibility of the fires within the stoves. Is there anything more relaxing and mesmerising than sitting around the hearth of a fireplace and enjoying the warmth and allure of dancing flames?
