Designer Glass-Fronted Fireplace with Traditional Mantel

This large glass-fronted fireplace demonstrates how a contemporary gas fire can be successfully combined with a more traditional fireplace design. Set within a classic mantelpiece and finished with a brick-slip interior, it creates a warm, characterful focal point while retaining the clean performance and expansive flame view of a modern glass-enclosed fire.

The fireplace is built neatly into the wall, with the base positioned flush to the floor for a clean and integrated finish. The wide glazed front provides a generous view of the flame, while the brick-lined chamber and traditional surround introduce texture, depth and a more established architectural character.

Shown here as a gas fire, the design can also be specified as a wood-burning or bioethanol fireplace, depending on the technical and design requirements of the project. Its glass-fronted construction delivers high heat output and greater efficiency than an open-fronted fireplace.

Available in a range of sizes and configurations, the fireplace, mantel and internal finishes can be tailored to suit the proportions and style of the room.

BESPOKE DESIGN

Architectural fireplaces, designed without precedent

If you can conceive it, we can deliver it. That is what Modus does best. Working closely with our in-house design team, and in collaboration with Europe's leading manufacturers, we develop fireplaces that respond precisely to the architecture, materiality, and intent of each project. The result is a fireplace tailor-made for its setting, and for no other.

01
Material Choices

Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.

02
Precision Engineering

Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.

03
Seamless Integration

We work as an extension of the project team, from concept through to commissioning, so the fireplace sits within the architecture rather than against it.
