Help with our new log burner?
Comments (12)A stove can look stark in an old fireplace, and the oak mantelpiece and corbels look great Laura. But is it safe to store the wood so close? Please do check that out perhaps with the local fire brigade home inspection team, as it dries it will become tinder dry and a fire started will wreak such havoc. i understand monoxide alarms are compulsory certainly if let, and failure to get certificates annual chimney sweeping void insurance, and air vents are also mandatory depending on stove size. Storing wood is such a problem, I'm sure there are lots of fantastic ideas out there........ We had the fire moved further out onto the granite hearth (as was agreed when ordered) to ensure more heat came into the room there was not room for an eco fan on top, so I connected three computer fans on a strip of wood, with integral LED lights red green and blue fans, and powered by a small 12v supply so I can run in series or parallel to control air flow. That works well and the light reflects subtly underneath and at sides of the fire. If I was starting from scratch I would have the fire much more exposed and the chimney to get the most out of the heat. The magnetic chimney thermometer is useful. hth. Still waiting to get the room redecorated and re carpeted 4 years after being installed. The salmon pink was just to cover the old wallpaper and new plaster, but i've grown to like it!...See MoreLog burner help
Comments (8)Thanks Gary. That's what we were thinking. It may explain why the people who installed it only used it once a year! I'll have a look into the electric fan if not i may have the surround removed as the brick inside all looks fine from what I can see (not much room!) I was originally looking just to remove the burner and replace with a traditional grate but hadn't realised I would need to have the flue changed which may be a dearer option than I first thought. In terms of wood, I used kiln dried ash on the first couple of attempts as had read in several places that it was the "gold" of wood, although have since read an article by an expert that has suggested it's overrated so we're just using kiln dried hardwood from the garden centre atm but no idea what type of wood it is....See MoreNeed help on flooring for Edwardian house with contemporary extension
Comments (21)Hi AR, Tiles/Wood effect tiles are an option however you'd be surprised where real wood flooring can go. All our engineered/solid wood flooring is suitable for any room excluding wet rooms. The advantage over tiles is that it can be easily repaired if scratched/damaged. Also in terms of heat, if used with underfloor heating it will hold the heat for longer periods of time as tiles tend to disperse heat faster. Wood is a better natural conductor of heat as opposed to stone/tile, hence why we use them with fireplaces/barbeques etc. (please only use engineered wood flooring with underfloor heating). Not only that but if you wished to change the colour of the floor in 20-30 years it is easily done by simply sanding and applying a stain/varnish. Our flooring has been used in restaurants/bars hotels, as well as residential properties, so do not rule it out as there are many designs/styles available from standard planks, to antique boards, chevrons, Versailles panels, herringbone etc. Just have a quick look through our projects to get an idea. PROJECTS We hope this helps broaden your options, and if you need any more info do let us know and we'll be glad to help....See Morewood burner location
Comments (10)Hi Vicki - I would consider some questions before trying to figure out where to place it, what is the purpose of the wood burner? to keep you warm, to look nice, for ambience? How often will you use it? If its to keep you warm and you picture your self sitting by the fire whilst watching TV then having it right next to the TV as you have in photo A may not be such a good idea, for the sake of your neck! If you would rather be close to the fire with nice logs on one side then I would place it on the other end but make sure you have seating nearby or can be moved closer e.g. small stool. If it is just to look nice then I would suggest to keep it away from the TV wall, as there is a lot going on there. You may need to consider moving your furniture around to accommodate the stove and be able to watch TV. Alternatively you could have two separate seating areas, its difficult to tell how far back your orangery goes, but if you prefer your current set up, then you could have a smaller seating area around the fire if you chose to place it on the other end of the orangery. It could be somewhere cosy to sit and read. If you have floor measurements, I could draw up a floor plan for you to see how it could look before you take the plunge :)...See More

7 years agoHi, i use a lot of Morso wood burners in my clients projects as such good modern design. I have a Chesneys wood burner which I personally love as very simple lines with a modern handle. Attached a pic obviously looks lots more inviting when lit!
