For many people, the fireplace is not just part a of the house providing warmth and comfort on winter nights, but the focal point of the home to be enjoyed and admired all through the year. And if the fireplace is the centrepiece of the home, then an Argyle canopy must surely be the most functional and attractive centrepiece of any fireplace.

Argyle canopies are designed to fit over the fire and act as a funnel between fire and chimney, but are also used in new homes which have been built without chimneys.

They can also be used purely for ornamental use in situations where smoke extraction is not required - in fact, there's virtually no situation where an Argyle canopy would not improve the appeal of a fireplace, as well as increase its functional performance.

For example, many old inglenook fireplaces are now being exposed and renovated, but rarely work efficiently without smoking into the room-there are few remedies for this problem. Either brick in a small in a small fireplace, fit a stove, or best of all, fit an Argyle canopy - always the best way to beat the problem.

Individually designed brick or stone replacement fireplaces are becoming increasingly popular, and we are always pleased to offer personal advice regarding the canopy installation. Our own installation service is available if required.

All Argyle Canopies are designed and made to measure, so each is unique for your fireplace setting. To Achieve this we make templates for size on site. We can offer help or advice to your designer or architect when planning a new build, including supplying drawings for a typical Inglenook. If necessary we undertake site inspections using CCTV cameras and conduct smoke tests where potential flue problems exist. Argyle Canopies are committed to giving you a complete first class service.
