MORSO FIREPLACES Gauteng, South Africa

Fireplace designs in South Africa have come a long way since their humble beginnings, and in recent years the increased availability of controllable, highly efficient, effective and aesthetically striking fireplaces has led to a radical change in thinking. Gone are the days of the ineffective roaring open fireplace and convector box. South African home owners are now starting to consider the fireplace as more of a piece of « heating furniture ».

As with any piece of well-chosen furniture, free-standing or built-in fireplaces can become a stunning feature, adding comfort, style and value to a home. Considered the pioneer of closed system fireplaces, the leading European fireplace manufacturer, Morsø, has been writing history ever since the first castings were made in a small iron foundry in Denmark, 150 years ago.
