Open Fireplace

Open Fireplaces - Traditional Heating Solutions with Period & Modern Style Options

Materials for constructing wood-burning and solid fuel open fireplaces

Vitcas offers a wide range of heat-resistant materials for the design and construction of open fireplaces in both traditional and modern settings. Whether you're restoring a Victorian, Georgian, or Art Deco fireplace, or building a new fireplace with a contemporary aesthetic, our products ensure both performance and longevity under high-temperature conditions.

What defines an open fireplace?

An open fireplace is characterised by an uncovered firebox recessed into the wall, where combustion occurs. This design provides a direct view of the fire, contributing to a cosy and atmospheric focal point in any room. Open fireplaces typically burn wood logs or solid fuels such as coal, and may feature surrounds made from stone, brick, or steel.

Authentic ambience and effective heat output

There's a timeless appeal to the crackle of an open fire, particularly during colder months. When built with the correct refractory construction and insulation materials, an open fireplace not only enhances the atmosphere but also delivers practical radiant heat for residential spaces.

Vitcas materials ensure the safe operation and thermal efficiency of your fireplace, whether installed in a period property or a newly built home.

Typical applications

  • Constructing or restoring open fireplaces in period homes

  • Building firebacks, surrounds, and hearths using refractory mortars and boards

  • Burning wood or coal in exposed fireboxes for decorative and practical use

  • Enhancing living room ambience with traditional open-fire aesthetics
