The most highly efficient wood fireplaces are sealed, with a glass door on the front for viewing and loading wood. These fireplaces combine a great view of the flame, with the ability to produce very large amounts of heat at very low carbon emissions.
Most wood fireplaces carried by TH Fireplaces products will utilize air from outside the home to feed the fire which means less air from the room is being sent out the chimney in an open fireplace. It also helps to reduce the risk of creating a negative pressure system, which can cause smoke to spill back into the room. Many of our fireplaces are hybrid or have available catalytic combustors which lower the carbon emissions from the fireplace.
