You don't want to buy one before you have your fireplace set. Every fireplace has it's own codes. Every wood burner has standard NFPA codes but your builder may have a hard time meeting the demands of your surround. After the fireplace is built then you have the dimensions to go off of. If you are thinking gas there is even more codes. Every brand, make and model has it's own clearance to combustables as well as other code requirements for surrounds. If you Look at a lennox 3540 codes are different for a 3035. If your interested in Gas look at the Valor President and windsor arch. They are a european based fireplace company. The oldest gas burner company in the world. Over 100 years now. valorfireplaces.com

Save up and get the English ones you like. We didn't do as much of that in this country as they did, nor were they as ornate as the English ones were, where they used them for a much longer period of time than we did.

I think you're referring to their gas heaters which were made to look like fireplaces. In some rentals you put in coins and it heated for as long as the coins paid for.

If you mean some kind of mantelpiece in iron, call salvage yards and ask, or antique stores.

If you want to install a wood burning fireplace its a really expensive hassle but talk to the people at woodburning stores to get a better idea of what it would entail. You may just want to install a gas fireplace but even then I'm not sure if the modern units would fit into an Edwardian front.

thanks..i decided on a 19th century..franklin style stove..orate and from new England..2000 $ but cheaper than a fireplace..but I do love the English iron fronts!

hello..i have a 50s home that was built without a fireplace. I would like to install one. I have little by little added old Victorian windows and doors..and made the interior have an old feeling with doric columns and giving the home more character.. I would like to buy an iron fireplace front..Victorian or Edwardian.. a bedroom iron fireplace which is a good size but perfect for a smallish living room..would the builder use this as a stepping stone..i really like the iron fireplaces from uk but are pricey to ship.. if anyone knows where I can buy iron fireplace fronts in usa..I would appreciate it..these iron fronts are beautiful and now want nothing else.
