Brand Spotlight: Carron Fireplaces, Surrounds & Inserts

The phrase ‘they don’t make them like they used to’ can be applied to many things. However, thanks to the wonderful people at Carron, that can’t be said of fireplaces and surrounds.

Here at Direct Fireplaces, we’re huge fans of Carron and their absolutely beautiful traditionally designed fireplaces, surrounds and fireplace inserts that hark back to the opulence of Victorian period properties.

Before we take a closer look at some of Carron’s stunning products, we caught up with the brand for a quick chat:

Could you please give us some background to Carron?

Carron Castings is a brand that dates back over 16 years and is based on the quality of traditional cast iron production methods which date back centuries.

What makes Carron stand out from the crowd?

Whilst working with historic designs in radiators and heating products, Carron are innovators in their field and are one of the few manufacturers of coloured enamelled stoves left today in the UK.  And with the ability to design bespoke radiators and fireplaces with special finishes and sizes, our ethos is to be constantly pushing design boundaries.

Why do you think the classic style of Carron remains so popular?

Carron specialise in traditional period designs and as a market leader we focus on the detail and accuracy of the design and casting of our products making them more relevant to period homes and new alike giving them a timeless appeal.

What does the design process look like for Carron products?

Many of Carron’s radiators were designed over a 100 of years ago and we whilst we will change the finish and colours we will always keep the integrity of the original designs.  Our fireplaces and stoves are designed in-house by our specialist design team, working on a lengthy process which includes concept designs through to production.
