Fireplace Radiator

MoneyGeoff

I have a fireplace and chimney in the living room that I don't use as a real fire and was looking for ideas for heating sources. I currently have candles in it and it's too small to put a wood burning stove in. A gas fire would be possible, I have a gas supply in the house although not in the living room.

I was thinking the cheapest running cost would be a heater that runs off the central heating rather than a separately gas or electricity powered heater. The central heating pipes runs nearby so would be easy to plumb in. Obviously not a huge ugly white radiator in the fireplace, but is there a suitable product?

I saw this fireplace radiator berdoulat.co.uk/products/fireplace-radiator/ but the website just has drawings. Anyone seen similar products? Doesn't have to look like a fire, a funky design might work.

Too small for a stove? Knock a few bricks out. What a strange website you have found. Couldn't they borrow a digital camera for a few days rather than drawing pictures of their radiators?

It is strange seeing drawings on a website like that, made me laugh though.

I can't knock bricks out, its the depth that's the problem and its an external wall.

Let it stick out a bit. The flue can be guided into the chimney. They are not all large you can get smaller ones.
