Collection: Heating

The Heating collection is the starting point for customers deciding between wood, gas, electric and outdoor heating. These are very different products, so the best choice comes from the room, installation and level of day-to-day involvement you want rather than from appearance alone. Alfresco Outdoors & Heating carries freestanding heaters, inbuilt fireplaces, gas inserts, linear electric fires and outdoor fire-pit products across a wide range of brands.

Wood heating offers a real solid-fuel fire and is represented by brands including Lopi, Coonara, Morso, Metters, Kalora and other specialist wood-heater manufacturers. Customers can choose between freestanding models and inbuilt fireplaces, with heating capacity, firebox size, clearances, hearth and flue requirements varying by model. Gas heating is available in freestanding, inbuilt, insert and zero-clearance formats from brands such as Lopi, Coonara and Real Flame, making installation format an important part of the comparison. Electric heating includes linear fireplaces and complete suites from British Fires, Kalora and Real Flame, with no wood storage or gas connection required for the electric appliance itself.

Outdoor heating has a different role. The current range includes steel and stainless-steel fire pits as well as gas fire-pit tables that combine an outdoor table with a flame feature. These products are intended for open outdoor entertaining areas and should always be selected with the required clearances, local restrictions and operating instructions in mind.
