Traditional Fires (Tortoise)Traditional Tortoise open convector fireboxes – the acceptable face of open fires. The cleverly designed box-within-a-box principle gives higher levels of performance than those of a conventional open fire. As the diagram shows, cooler air from the room is warmed as it is naturally convected around the convection chamber in the Tortoise before returning it to the room – extracting more heat from your fuel. An added benefit comes from the gentle and even spread of warmth around your room – reducing the ‘hot front-cold back’ effect of many open fires.
Traditional Tortoise Fireboxes are available in two styles, inset models for building into the fireplace or surround and freestanding models – ideal for inglenooks or as a stand-alone fire. Both styles are produced in 8 standard sizes, to cover most installation requirements. We offer a unique made-to-measure bespoke service should you require something a little different. Simply contact us to discuss your situation – we can usually find an answer to the most difficult problem fireplaces! All Tortoises come complete with a log tray, fuel retainer bar and tool, making them ready to burn wood without the need for any additional elements. An adjustable flue damper is incorporated into the body of the fire. Accessories include multi-fuel grids* – where solid-fuel or a log/solid-fuel mix is to be used, lock-on sparkguards, gas conversion kits* – natural or L.P.G., gatherhoods - where a direct connection to flue pipe/liner is required and a selection of frame finishes – stainless steel, brass or copper* (*models 1 to 4).
