Fire Baskets and Fire Grates
Fire baskets and fire grates are designed to sit within a fireplace opening, holding the fuel while creating a more open, traditional fire display. Commonly associated with Victorian fireplaces, they remain a popular choice for both period restorations and decorative setups.
Our range includes fire baskets suitable for solid fuel, gas and electric fires, allowing you to achieve the look of a traditional open fire regardless of your setup.
What Is a Fire Basket?
A fire basket is a freestanding or inset unit that holds logs, coal or other fuel within the fireplace. Unlike closed stoves or inset fires, fire baskets create a more open, visible flame, making them ideal for creating a classic focal point.
Types of Fire Basket Available
- Solid fuel fire baskets – designed for use with logs or coal
- Gas fire baskets – combines traditional styling with the convenience of gas
- Electric fire baskets – low-maintenance option with realistic flame effects
- Fire grates – supports fuel within a fireplace and improves airflow
Styles to Suit Your Fireplace
From traditional cast iron designs to more contemporary interpretations, fire baskets can be styled to suit both period properties and modern interiors. They work particularly well with cast iron inserts, tiled fireplaces and decorative surrounds.
Whether you’re restoring an original fireplace or creating a feature in a newer space, a fire basket offers a simple way to introduce warmth and character.
