The brief
The Aspect 4 is a strong choice for this type of project because it delivers a modern flame picture in a compact body, making it ideal for smaller fireplace openings or rooms where proportion is important.
The brick slip chamber panel adds warmth and texture behind the appliance, helping the new opening feel more established.
How the project came together
A non-combustible beam above the opening introduces a traditional mantel line while remaining appropriate for a live stove installation.
The flue was lined using a stainless steel flexible liner with lifetime warranty, giving the project a safe and reliable flue route within the existing chimney.
Details worth noticing
The result is a neat, characterful fireplace transformation that gives the room a proper focal point without making the installation feel oversized.
