When winter arrives, it takes a great deal of willpower to leave the comfort of your home and brave the cold. That’s why everyone loves curling up next to a fire with a good book and glass of wine — or snuggling up with a special someone to watch your favourite show on Netflix.
There’s nothing quite like lighting a fire at the end of the day and hearing the sound of the wood crackling as it ignites. There’s just something about heating a room the old-fashioned way that brings even more warmth than the fire itself. This, and a fireplace’s architectural appeal, can make any home feel more cosy and welcoming.
Sculpt Fireplace Collection, an Australian owned company, specialises in architectural, wood-burning fireplace products that will bring warmth and a look of luxury to your home. Sculpt offers three ranges — Seguin, Axis and JC Bordelet — that are handcrafted by artisans in France using the highest quality materials.
The Seguin range, fashioned from 100-per-cent pure, original cast iron, boasts an industrial, cheminee-style design that would suit highly contemporary home designs as well as more rustic or traditional looks. Axis fireplaces, on the other hand, have a sleek, modern appearance and feature laser-cut, high-quality steel fireboxes with warrantied ceramic High Resistant Refractory firebricks.
If you want a touch of drama or to create a sculptural focal point, the JC Bordelet range of suspended designer fireplaces is ideal. There are five designs in the collection — four offer 360-degree viewing; the other, 180-degree. Hand-shaped and spun from 400mm-thick steel, they are available in a multitude of colours.
Both the Seguin and Axis ranges have DAFS (Double Air Flow System) technology which injects oxygen directly into the fireboxes, making it perfect for 6-star rated homes. DAFS also increases burn time, reduces CO² emissions, provides total combustion of firewood, and minimises maintenance as the glass and bricks are cleaned as the fireplace operates.
Sculpt Fireplace Collection products are designer features created to give homes the wow factor everyone craves — and they do that while providing optimum heat and functionality. Install one of these exquisite, handcrafted fireplaces and it will soon become the heart of your home.
