Gallery Crown Cast Iron Fireplace Insert

The Gallery Crown cast iron insert is a decorative back panel plate with complimentary front bars. It is designed to be combined inside a fireplace surround and can incorporate a variety of optional fires. The glorious arch design takes its inspiration from classical designs yet the Crown insert is equally suited to modern fireplace styles.

Choose from three finishes; the matt black cast iron will provide a dramatic contrast to lighter fireplace surrounds and it the preferred option when opting for the solid fuel kit. The half polish finish model lets the arch detail really stand out in its striking, buffed silver/pewter finish whilst the fully polished Crown cast insert is especially popular with more contemporary décors.

Offered with a range of fires to suit all lifestyles. A tapered gas fire tray has been made especially for this insert and drops into the fire chamber area so that only the authentic coal fuel effect is visible. Manual controls discreetly located behind the bottom ashpan cover switch the fire on/off and let you adjust the flame height settings. Whilst these types of gas fires are not designed as a heating source, it is a popular choice for homeowners who want to enjoy the ambience of a real flame without relying on its heat. Additional ventilation in the room (air vent) is not normally required with this fire.

The electric fire option comprises of a moulded orange plastic base with coal pieces on top. LED bulbs under the cover produce a glow around the fire chamber that can be used without the any heat. If your room does get chilly, there is a fan heater at the base of the appliance capable of providing 900W or 1800W of convected heat. The electric fire is operated by a remote control as standard.

If you love the idea of relaxing in from of real, roaring fire, the Gallery Crown insert is available with its own solid fuel kit allowing you to burn either wood or coal. When burning solid fuel it is recommended that you choose a black finish insert as tarnishing can occur on polished surfaces.

The gas fire and solid fuel option will require installation into a conventional chimney with a larger than standard opening as shown on the 'Dimensions' tab. Whilst the electric fire option does not require a chimney or flue, due to the cast iron back on the insert, it will still require adequate recess depth to accommodate the insert.
