The Antique Fireplace Restoration

Though it is possible to get antique style fireplaces for your home, there is no substitute for the real thing. No matter how good the reproduction is compared with the original. Will the materials last for a century compared with the antique fireplaces we sell? We doubt that. Surprisingly, shunning reproduction fireplaces in favour of antique fireplaces also have environmental benefits. Most of the gains are made on the delivery side of things. A reproduction fireplace could have been made overseas. This adds to the carbon footprint due to the amount of air miles it has travelled. Then there’s all the other fixtures: more deliveries, more production time. Before you see it in the shop or online, it has already travelled around the world.
