Technical Design Advice & Compliance

Navigating the technical side of fireplace installation can be complex - especially with fuel types, ventilation, clearance zones, and building code considerations. We provide expert guidance to help ensure your fireplace design complies with all relevant standards.
We have extensive experience working with leading fireplace brands such as Stovax, Gazco, Stûv, Jetmaster and VisionLINE, and collaborate regularly with architects, builders and homeowners to bring projects to life.
Whether you need input at the concept stage or detailed support during a build, Designs For Fires can help keep your project smooth, safe, and regulation-ready.

Enhancing Existing Fireplaces:
Give your space a fresh new feel by redesigning around an existing unit - without the cost of replacing the fire itself. Small changes can make a big impact.

We design with the fireplace in mind, considering cabinetry, mantelpieces, TV placement, and more. With a deep understanding of how fireplace units integrate with interiors, we make sure everything works in harmony.
