Build one on screen before you come in

Pick a Fireplace Xtrordinair fireplace or a Lopi stove and change the face, the log set, the fireback and the venting until it looks like the room you have. It runs on our dealer account, so what you build comes back to us.

What it does

  • Redraws the fireplace as you change it
  • Takes a photo of your own room to sit it against
  • Prints, so you can bring the spec in with you
  • Covers the Lopi and Fireplace Xtrordinair lines

Free, and it does not ask you for anything.

A bed of glowing coals.

We sell it, install it, and come back.

One crew runs the Class A chimney, the relining, the gas line and the appliance itself, with 50 years of combined experience. When it needs a gasket in year seven, you call the same shop.
