The wood heaters represented on these pages are the best quality available in Australia today!
We are constantly researching fireplaces of all descriptions and we are confident that all the wood heaters and gas fires on these pages are the best in their class and will provide long and trouble free service.
The wood heater manufacturers listed here have different style heaters so the following guide will help. The four main styles of wood heaters are :-
- Freestanding.....All including Morso, Osburn, Skantherm and Stovax.
- Inbuilt.....Regency, Lopi, Eureka, Heatmaster, Kent, Jindara, Masport, Stovax and more.
- 2 door....Only Eureka and Jindara.
- Zero clearance....Regency, CleanAir, Jindara, Eureka, Heatmaster, Masport and more.
- Suspended....Focus, Bordelet.
All these styles can be achieved with open fireboxes or the all time favorites, the slow combustion wood heater. All except 2 door of course, which are available only as slow combustion (or wood heater with a sealed door).
Zero clearance wood fires are simply insulated fireboxes that are designed to be 'boxed' into a timber or metal framed surround and triple flued to create the inbuilt fireplace look. Some like the Heatmaster A series insulated fireboxes can also be freestanding.
Almost every fireplace requires some accessories such as a fire screen and fire tools and some just need a good dress up. Have a look through our 'General Information' section for all your fireplace accessories and general fireplace information.
The fireplace accessories section contains everything except fire screens and fire tools.
Fireplace mantelpieces are available in made to measure and standard sizes and usually polished or raw timber or craftwood if you intend to paint them.
The fireplace installations section is worth a look to gain an overview of what's possible.
Most important to the clean and efficient running of any wood heater, is the firewood. This section shows the best burning species and how to treat it.
