Useful Information & Technical Details

Our Range of Fire Baskets

All Baskets that are shown polished are available in black.

Discolouration
Please note that polished surfaces may change colour after prolonged exposure to heat. Polished brass and cast iron items especially are not recommended for solid fuel fires as some discolouration will occur. For this reason, please select a black finish for solid fuel.

Coals & Pebbles for Gas Fires
Decorative fires can be supplied with pebbles or coals, though coals come as a standard and pebbles are supplied on order and at an additional charge.

Sizes
Check opening dimensions of your fireplace before ordering a fire basket. See the Dimension Charts on our Information Page and/or on our Mantels details below.

Suitability of Fuels
Please note that not all baskets are suitable for gas conversion or for electric fires - if in doubt, please enquire. Please note the following:

• The Zen fire basket in our Contemporary Range is designed for gas only, but the large model can be used for solid fuel by combining it with the Neon.
• The Pulse basket in our Period Range cannot be used for solid fuel.
• The Cottage and Large Victorian in our Period Range are particularly good for log burning.
• The Swans Nest baskets in our Traditional Range will burn the largest of logs.
