Tips on Looking after Cast Iron Fireplaces -
All fires2u.com cast iron products are delivered with a protective, oil-based coating on polished surfaces. This should be cleaned off during installation. It is recommended that a spray-type oil is applied from time to time in order to avoid surface rust appearing. Ensure that the room in which the cast iron product is being installed is thoroughly dry. For example recently plastered walls cause high levels of moisture in the atmosphere and, as a result, rust is likely to occur.
Tips on Looking after Portuguese Limestone Suites
Stone is naturally porous, so all visual surfaces have been pre-sealed to help protect the surface from staining. Avoid spillages of coloured liquids such as fruit juices and red wine. In the event of an accident, use a specialist cleaning and resealing kit, following the instructions given by the manufacturer of the kit. Where chipping has occurred, use a fine wet and dry sand paper to blend out as necessary
Tips on Looking after Micro Marble Suites
Avoid spillages of strong coloured solutions and citrus juices as the acid may etch the surface. To maintain the subtle shine of the surface, occasionally wipe over with a solution of general household cleaner and buff with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any bleach or abrasive cleaning agents as these will scuff or dull the shine.
Tips on Looking after Jura Stone Suites
Jura-stone suites are manufactured from natural stone and finished with a revolutionary, patent applied for durable finish, with the realistic 'cold to touch' feel of natural stone.

Cast Tec Integra Collection – Efficient Cast Iron Fireplaces suitbale for every Home
There can be little else more inviting and comforting than the warmth and glow of a real coal fire inside a traditional cast-iron fireplace. The Industrial Revolution launched the robust, practical yet stylish cast-iron fireplace and it still remains with us today. The use of an open coal fire, however, having declined in our towns and cities due to environmental concerns, has been replaced by the cleaner and more convenient gas fire. These gas fires succeeded in looking very realistic but gave out precious little in the way of heat with an efficiency of around 25% (75% of the heat going straight up the chimney).
What options do we have to look forward to in today’s greener fireplace market? Well, how about integrating a range of quality cast-iron fireplaces (let’s call it the Integra) together with an open, efficient and high output gas fire (let’s call it an Integra Engine)? Well that concept has now arrived ….the stunning Cast Tec Integra Collection! At Fires2u.com we are very proud to have introduced the complete Cast Tec Integra Collection to our fire website and as always at great low prices!
What is so Special about the Cast Tec Integra Collection? Most gas fires supplied with a cast-iron fireplace tend to be decorative only but don’t offer much in the way of heat and efficiency with 75% of the heat being lost up the chimney. The Integra Collection boasts a realistic, efficient and high output gas fire with a choice of cast-iron insert providing a unique combination of looks, warmth and savings.
For rooms with a traditional Chimney (known as a Class 1 Flue), there is a deep Open fronted gas convector fire that Cast Tec have developed with an amazing heat output of 4kW and an efficiency approaching 60%. There is also a choice of manual control or hand held remote controls for this fire. Cast Tec have also introduced a High Efficiency version of this gas fire which means it is Glass Fronted and is outstanding 80% efficient and is suitable with all the cast inserts in the Integra range.
For rooms with a Flue but no traditional Chimney breast there is a MultiFlue Engine with a heat output of 3.3kW and an efficiency approaching 50% and is a slimline gas fire. These Flues often consist of a pre-cast Fluepipe built inside the cavity of the wall and can often be seen from outside by a metal cowl or raised ridge tile on a roof instead of a traditional Chimney pot. Again these fires are suitable with all Cast Iron inserts in the Integra range and can be seen on the Fires2u.com website today!
For rooms with no Chimney or Flue but a suitable external wall, dont worry the Integra collection is still suitbale for you! As there is either the Cast Tec PowerFlue fire with a heat output of 3.3kW and an efficiency approaching 50%. A Balance Flue gas fire which is a glass fonted gas fire and has a heat output of 4.3kW and an efficiency of 94%.

Gallery Cast Iron Fireplaces and Cast Iron Fire Baskets - Useful tips on how to look after these products
At fires2u.com we sell the full range of Cast Iron fireplaces from the Gallery Combination range, which are fireplaces that are made from cast iron and are a single-piece item (i.e. no need for a separate mantel). They are manufactured to the highest quality ISO 2002 standards with the finishing processes being carried by highly trained craftsmen. All fires2u combinations fireplaces feature in the purple GALLERY 'Fireplaces' brochure and either come in black, highlighted or full polished option also some fireplaces come with a wide range of Tiles.
Some of the Gallery Cast iron fireplaces are simply perfect for smaller rooms such as bedrooms or small lounges as they are narrower than your average fireplaces therefore allowing you still have the authenticity of Fireplace and will still fit into your room perfectly!
All fires2u.com Cast Iron baskets and Fireplaces are delivered to our customers with a protective, oil-based coating on polished surfaces. This should be cleaned off during installation. It is recommended that a spray-type oil is applied from time to time in order to avoid surface rust appearing. Ensure that the room in which the cast iron product is being installed is thoroughly dry. For example recently plastered walls cause high levels of moisture in the atmosphere and, as a result, rust is likely to occur.
Under no circumstances should a water based cleaner or polish be used to clean Cast Iron Fire baskets or Fireplaces. When using ceramic fuel, ensure that these do not touch any of the polished surfaces as this will help to minimise the possibility of thermal discolouration. High temperature paint is used on the black and graphite products that Gallery sell, in sections of the cast iron where fires will burn. In time this paint will eventually burn off. A proprietary high temperature paint can be therefore bought to re-coat your fireplace. Such paint is available from fires2u.com we just request proof of original purchase from you and we can then get a price for this product for you.
Ash caused by the fire in your Cast Iron Fireplace must be cleaned away regularly as a build up beneath the fire will cause the grate to burn out quickly. The grate is a consumable part of your fire and will need replacement from time to time, depending on the frequency and burning temperature of your fire. Such grates can be bought also at fires2u.com we just request proof of original purchase from us and we can then get a price for this item for you.
FIRES2U.com are currently selling the Gallery Nottage Cast iron Fireplace which comes in black or highlighted finish with either a gas fire, lLpg fire, electric fire or a solid fuel kit and also a 30” or 36”granite hearth all at a Great Low Low Price!
