FAQs

What's the difference between a traditional fireplace and a wall-mounted fireplace from Caleo?

When researching fireplace options, traditional fireplaces offer a sense of familiarity. But, as they often require a chimney, the precise location will be fixed, and in the end... they all look pretty much the same!

Our Wall-mounted fireplaces are derived from our spectacular 'Central fireplace designs' but cleverly made to mount against a wall.

We have models fuelled by wood, gas and even electric effect so whatever your preferences, you can have that spectacular fireplace against the wall where it will not occupy quite as much room as the central version.Our wall mounted fireplaces create a striking design statement that most certainly will not fade into the background, as can sadly be the case with other lacklustre fireplace styles.

Can I get a wall-mounted fireplace with a base pedestal?

Yes - wall mounted on pedestal design fireplaces are a floor to ceiling concept, consisting of a flue, fire and a base. Their captivating enigma eliminates the need for pieces of art to adorn the walls, since the design is elongated across the entire height of the wall space.Some of our models are available with a base pedestal if thats your preference... be sure to ask.

Can wall-mounted fireplaces be wood-burning?

Yes - combining the rustic charm of a real log fire with the eloquence of a designer fireplace, wall-mounted wood-burning fires are the very definition of design excellence. With a view of the wood seductively cindering through the glass, a sense of outdoor living, off-grid warmth and the crackle and ambiance of a wood fire can be enjoyed indoors all year round.

What are the benefits of a suspended fireplace?

Floating fireplaces are unique and bring character to your home - regardless of whether your property is a new build or a period home, there is an incredibly wide range of hanging fireplace styles to suit all personal tastes. and to deliver that 'WOW' factor.

Panoramic Fireplaces look great from all angles - any discerning property owner is going to want the very best outcome within the features they choose for their home. With a hanging fireplace, the panoramic design available in several of our models means no matter where you’re positioned in the room, you’ll always get the best possible view. With a panoramic fireplace, this also includes when you gather around the fire in a circle while entertaining or spending quality time with loved ones.Hanging fireplaces offer the latest in fireplace innovation - within all areas of design and construction, trends are constantly evolving, and this is hot one in fireplace styles!

A floating fireplace, or designer fireplace more generally, can add as much as 5% to your property value. Not only that, but luxury fireplaces such as the models we sell here at Caleo can provide an even greater return on investment. A report found that adding a £3,000 fireplace can add as much as £10,000 onto the value of your property, which is a 233% ROI. If completed as part of wider renovation works, that figure can easily skyrocket, since an inviting fireplace is always going to be a welcome addition in any home.

Floating fireplaces free up floor and wall space - due to the fireplace being attached to the ceiling, this creates the illusion that the fireplace is floating off of the ground. Not only is this effect effortlessly elegant in any setting, but it also means that the floor and wall space are not taken up by the fireplace. Floating fireplaces can also add structure to an otherwise sparse room, whether you plan to add pieces of furniture or keep the room pared back. A traditional fireplace in an empty or large space could make the room look unfinished. But with a floating fireplace, you have endless options at your disposal without losing an ounce of style.

Can my floating fireplace be wood-burning?

Yes. Fire is most associated with wood, with wood burning fireplaces offering the perfect mix between rustic charm and modern convenience. A suspended log burner (also known as a hanging log burner or floating fireplace), brings the satisfying view of the wood burning down into your eye line, rather than being down on the ground as is the case with a campfire. Also enjoy the ambiance around 360º with a fully glazed, or rotating appliance. With a high efficiency glass fronted design, modern suspended wood burners are an architectural delight, and very desirable delivering clean burning and high efficiency.

Can a central suspended fireplace be gas-fuelled?

What is a ceiling suspended fireplace?

Ceilings are perhaps the most underused aspect of any room, normally reserved for a fresh coat of plaster or at most a ceiling fan.

A ceiling suspended fireplace quite literally reinvents how the space is utilised and in doing so, provides not only an ambient level of warmth to the whole room but a striking focal piece too.

What is a wall-hanging fireplace?

Wall hanging fireplaces are similar to ceiling suspended fireplaces in that they cover the full length height of the room, but do so sitting flush against the wall rather than sitting in the middle of the room.

A wall hanging fireplace makes for an ideal option for homeowners who want to retain the traditional look of a fireplace but with a contemporary twist.

Suspended fireplaces give the illusion that the fire is floating above the ground. With a wall mounted suspended fireplace, the wall offers a sense of structure, as the flue gently directs your gaze down to the flickering flames below. Yet, the generous clearance between the fire and the floor offers a most intriguing twist on the classic fireplace design. Wall mounted suspended fireplaces can be paired with a statement wall colour or a paired back decor alike.

Take a look at the JC Bordelet Zelia 908 as an example.
