I would like to install an open fireplace in the lounge and would like it to be efficient.
Before I start, I know an open fireplace is much less efficient than a wood burner or multifuel stove. However I like how open fires look.
I've seen that you can buy more efficient convection-type fireplaces like the Jetmaster (below). Would I be able to install one of these with a traditional Victorian surround? Has anyone tried it and how does it look?
Are there any other brands of convector I could look at.
Sorry if these are basic questions. I've googled a lot and can't find much advice on fitting these type of fireplace in traditional surrounds.
