Many houses still feature a classic, open fireplace. Charming? Definitely. But increasingly, the fireplace no longer meets today’s needs: impractical, inefficient and often no longer allowed due to stricter environmental regulations. Nevertheless, the alcove or fireplace in the home remains an attractive part of the interior. But what do you do with that space now that the open fireplace is disappearing?
The possibilities at Trimline Fires
Fortunately, there are plenty of stylish and efficient alternatives to breathe new life into that spot. In this article, we discuss some popular options, including our own Trimline Fires products, such as electric insert fireplaces, wood-burning insert fireplaces and inset gas fireplaces. Whatever fuel you choose, at Trimline Fires we have what you’re looking for.
Electric insert fireplace as alternative
Electric inset stoves combine convenience with ambience: they require no smoke outlet or gas connection, are easy to install and, thanks to modern flame technology, offer a surprisingly realistic fire view. All models from Trimline Fires are equipped with an optional heating function, ideal as auxiliary heating.
Moreover, they are safe, low-maintenance and suitable for almost any room – from living room to bedroom or office. Looking for an electric inset fireplace? Then the Trimline 60E insert is the one for you!
Wood insert fireplaces as an alternative to open fireplaces
For those who do not want to miss the charm of a wood fire, the wood-burning insert fireplace is a good option. Unlike an open fire, it is closed, which ensures much higher efficiency as well as lower emissions. A wood-fired insert fireplace can often be easily installed in the existing opening and complies with stricter environmental standards. You can choose between the more compact Trimline Woody 60 Insert or the more spacious Trimline Woody 72 Insert. Which size do you prefer?

A gas fireplace as an alternative to an open fireplace
If you want an alternative to an open fire, but electric is not your thing and you also don’t want the hassle of wood burning, a gas fireplace is probably the perfect choice! At Trimline Fires, there are a number of great options that fit perfectly into the space of an open fireplace. If we could give a tip, we would highly recommend the Trimline 63H Front!
