A ‘Must Visit’ Fireplace Showroom Near Winchmore Hill

North London’s Ultimate Fireplace Showroom

Our story began back in 1978 – a year that was known for some distinctive and ‘out of the ordinary’ designs in both fashion and interior decor, yet it’s clear that as trends may come and go – and then come back again! – there’s always been the need to create a focal point, whilst delivering cosiness, comfort and an ambience that allows you to relax and unwind. That said, we’ve certainly seen some shifts in terms of form and functionality when it comes to the modern fireplace. Whether your dream is having an energy-efficient log burner that adds character and grace to your home, a stunning fireplace surround that elevates your home’s architectural style or a super sleek media wall fire that makes those film nights even more special than a night at the Everyman Cinema just a stone’s throw away, we can help you make the right decision for your lifestyle, home and budget. You can learn more about us, our approach and our services here, but should you have some questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line.

Multi Fuel & Woodburning Stoves in Winchmore Hill

Wait, so what does the future hold for stoves?

We get it, while Winchmore Hill will feel like a relatively calm and quiet part of England’s capital, it’s certainly not lacking in personality. That village-like atmosphere, green spaces, and strong community spirit are elevated a touch further when you take into account the architectural styles on offer. Many of the Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes nearby are a perfect match for a log burner or multi-fuel stove, but it’s important to find the right match. At Something Different, we stay true to our brand name.

No two properties are ever the same, so when you walk into our showroom or drop us a message with some ideas for your ideal stove, we can give you access to a huge range of Eco Stoves, those that meet DEFRA’s Clean Air Strategy 2019, which declares that all wood-burning stoves made (and placed on the market on or after 1 January 2022) have to comply with the Ecodesign regulation. These stoves and log burners produce 90% less emissions than an open fire and 80% fewer emissions than an average 10-year-old stove. These products from some of the world’s leading brands are far more efficient, and if you source your logs or wood pellets locally, your wood stove could be virtually carbon-neutral.

Contemporary Media Wall Fires Across Winchmore Hill

Media Wall Fires Made For You

Media walls have certainly come a long way in recent years. The advances in technology combined with the forward-thinking from electric and gas fire manufacturers have seen many homeowners shape the perfect feature wall, one that reflects their lifestyle, tastes and ideal ambience. For some, a dream media wall fire is rather minimal such as an electric fire built into a false chimney breast with a TV integrated above. To another individual, the ideal media wall fireplace will include a gas fire, shelving, a TV, a soundbar, a games console, and extra storage for books. It’s entirely for you to decide and here at Something Different, we help turn your concept into a reality.

When people visit our website, pop into our showroom or give us a call they are often looking for ideas, and it’s the ideal starting point. We can show you all of the fireplace brochures in the world, but when you see the work we’ve completed and visit our showroom where we have live media wall fires on display, you can start thinking about the possibilities, not to mention the timeframe and budget to complete the job to the highest standards.

With today’s models from leading brands, you can have ambient lighting built-in, control the colour of your flames as well as the speed, and control the power of the fan, which pushes the warmth throughout your room – yes, media wall fires can actually give off beautiful heat! Our experienced fireplace team have been designing and building media wall fireplaces in Winchmore Hill and many other areas of North West London for many years, and we’d love to help you, every step of the way!

Stoves and Fireplaces Winchmore Hill

A Few Quickfire Questions

Nope, and there are certainly no signs of this happening in the near future. As we touched on above, wood-burning stoves are not banned in Winchmore Hill or any other parts of London. While the whole of London is a smoke-controlled area, DEFRA-exempt stoves are authorised, meeting the new efficiency standards laid out by the Government as part of their Clean Air Strategy. So whether you’re mapping out some ideas for a traditional logburner or a modern multi-fuel stove, we can help you find the very best stove for your property in Winchmore Hill, for now, and the many years ahead!

Yep, our fireplace showroom is approximately a 20-minute drive from Winchmore Hill (traffic-dependent). We are open Monday through Friday, 10am—5.30pm, and Saturdays, 10am—5pm. There’s no need to book an appointment; just pop in to see us whenever you want, and a member of our friendly team will be happy to help.

As much as we’d love to narrow it down to one type of fireplace, it’s clear that stoves (wood and multi-fuel), gas fireplaces and, more recently, electric media wall fires are all very popular. The right solution for your home is not necessarily going to be solely based on your property’s era, character or the local area itself, but on your needs. Today, most households use mains gas central heating, so whilst there’s bliss warmth that we’ve all come to know and love with modern and traditional fireplaces, you also have to consider the style, character, quality and value the right solution will bring to your home. The right answer is not necessarily something you’ll get to instantly. It can take some time to do your homework, conjure up ideas and get expert advice – that’s where we can help!
