The use of wood as a fuel source for heating is as old as civilisation itself. Worldwide, the burning of wood is the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Firewood is usually from timber that is unsuitable to be used for construction purposes. 

Wood as a fuel is regarded as a renewable energy resource – provided that the consumption rate is controlled to sustainable levels.

Although the combustion of wood results in some by-products, including ash and smoke (containing water vapour, carbon dioxide, other chemicals and aerosol particulates), firewood can be regarded as being carbon-neutral if being sourced from a sustainable plantation. This means that a tree absorbs as much carbon / carbon dioxide as it releases when burnt.

Burning wood also does not release any more carbon dioxide than the eventual natural biodegradation of the wood if it is not burned. The CO2 released to the atmosphere by combustion is recycled continuously into new plant growth as part of the carbon cycle.

Traditional wood fireplaces create an ambiance that is difficult to replicate. Regardless of the residue and ash left behind, the smell of wood evokes feelings of nostalgia and romance.Our range of wood fireplaces complements both traditional and modern homes.
