Sculpt Spotlight: The JC Bordelet Eva in Platinum Paint – A Bold Statement Abroad

At Sculpt Fireplace Collection, our commitment to design-led innovation doesn’t stop at Australia’s shores. We’re proud to represent brands that push boundaries globally, like the bold and sculptural JC Bordelet Eva, recently featured in a striking UK installation by Brice Homes.

This project in the West Midlands showcases the Eva suspended wood fireplace in a custom platinum paint finish. Adding a futuristic, almost ethereal tone to the heart of this modern new-build home.

For homeowners and specifiers seeking something beyond the ordinary, the Eva provides the opportunity to centre a room not just around a fire, but around an architectural focal point.

Colour Without Compromise

While JC Bordelet’s classic black and anthracite finishes remain timeless choices, this project highlights the beauty and possibility of custom colour finishes.

Proving that your fireplace can be as bold or as restrained as your vision demands.

With a palette of hundreds of colours and a variety of luxurious finishes, JC Bordelet’s unique metal treatment and powder coating process allows for extraordinary personalisation.

The JC Bordelet Eva in SAOTA’s Montauk Masterpiece

Posted on June 6th, 2025 by Jade@Sculpt

Bringing Nature In: The JC Bordelet Eva in SAOTA’s Montauk Masterpiece

At Sculpt Fireplace Collection, we’re proud to see our exclusive JC Bordelet Eva fireplace featured in some of the world’s most visionary homes. One of the most striking examples is SAOTA’s Montauk project. A bold, multi-level residence perched on the cliffs of Long Island. Designed to honour the rhythm of the landscape, this home blurs the boundary between inside and out, and the Eva plays a pivotal role in that dialogue.

A Fireplace That Frames the View

As SAOTA principal Mark Bullivant explains, the southern orientation of the Montauk site allowed for expansive glazing and open-plan living spaces that flow effortlessly toward the ocean. The JC Bordelet Eva – suspended centrally in the home’s main living area – enhances that connection. Anchoring the interior without disrupting the view.

With its signature suspended design and 360° sculptural form, the Eva creates an architectural focal point that’s both practical and poetic. When placed in such a transparently glazed setting, it becomes part of the natural rhythm. Catching the light, mirroring the coastline, and creating an atmosphere of warmth without enclosing the space.

Design Inspired by Context

The materials in this project were chosen for their tactile quality and contextual relevance. From local granite to shou sugi ban timber cladding. The JC Bordelet Eva, with its handcrafted metal body and bold silhouette, aligns perfectly with that material ethos. The fireplace’s sleek finish and refined craftsmanship reflect the architectural language of the surrounding barns while standing as a distinctly modern piece of French design.

Where Nature and Architecture Align

The Eva is more than just a fireplace – it’s a design statement that aligns with the architectural principles SAOTA is known for. Connection to site, celebration of light, and seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces. In this home, the Eva not only provides heat but becomes a vessel for atmosphere, presence, and place.

Whether in a coastal retreat or a city residence, the JC Bordelet Eva invites you to slow down and settle into your surroundings. At Sculpt, we believe true luxury lies in that connection. To nature, to craft, and to the rhythm of life around you.

Radiant Heating

Posted on March 31st, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Radiant vs. Convective Wood Fireplaces: Which is Right for Your Home?

When it comes to heating your home with a wood fireplace you’ll be faced with an important decision: radiant and convective heating? Both options offer warmth and ambiance, but each works in a unique way to distribute heat. Understanding the key differences — and the distinct advantages and disadvantages — will help you make the best choice for your space. Here’s a closer look at these fireplace types and why radiant wood fireplaces, like those from Sculpt Fireplace Collection, might be the perfect solution for you. 

Understanding Radiant heating and Convective Heating

Radiant Heating is all about direct warmth. Radiant fireplaces emit heat that travels in a straight line from the firebox to the surrounding area, directly warming objects, people, and surfaces in its path. This type of heat doesn’t rely on the air around it; instead, it warms up everything it touches. Think of the sun on a clear day: even if the air is cool, the sun’s rays warm up the ground, buildings, and anyone standing outside. That’s how a radiant wood fireplace works. 

Convective Heating, on the other hand, works by warming the air in a room. Convective fireplaces pull cool air into the firebox, heat it, and then release it back into the room. The warm air circulates, gradually heating the entire space. This method can be effective in smaller, well-insulated rooms but often takes longer to feel warm. 

Pros and Cons of Radiant heating

Radiant wood fireplaces come with distinct advantages, especially in open or larger spaces. Here’s why they’re increasingly popular with homeowners and why Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s radiant fireplaces are such an excellent choice. 

Pros of Radiant Wood Fireplaces 

1. Effective in Larger or Open Spaces
 
Radiant heat isn’t limited by airflow, making radiant wood fireplaces ideal for open-plan layouts or rooms with higher ceilings. For large or uninsulated spaces, radiant heating provides a more consistent warmth, ensuring you don’t experience cold spots. Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s radiant fireplaces, designed for powerful, even heating, are perfect for such spaces, offering a consistent, comfortable environment.
2. Instant, Direct Warmth
 
Radiant fireplaces heat up quickly and radiate warmth directly to everyone and everything around them. If you’re looking for fast, effective heating, a radiant fireplace provides warmth within minutes. Unlike convective heat, which requires time to circulate warm air, radiant heat is felt immediately and is ideal for chilly mornings or evenings when you want to warm up fast.
3. Ambiance and Cozy Atmosphere
 
There’s something about the intense, radiant warmth of a wood fire that creates a cozy ambiance unlike any other. Radiant wood fireplaces emit the classic warmth we associate with traditional fireplaces. They bring a sense of comfort that draws everyone in, making them an excellent choice for living areas, entertainment spaces, or anywhere you want to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. 
4. Minimal Air Disturbance
 
Since radiant fireplaces don’t depend on air circulation, they don’t disturb dust or allergens. For allergy sufferers or anyone sensitive to air movement, radiant wood fireplaces offer a cleaner, more comfortable option. This is particularly useful for those with open or drafty spaces where convective heating might struggle to distribute warmth evenly. 

Cons of Radiant Wood Fireplaces

1. Localised Heating
 
Radiant fireplaces primarily warm the immediate area around them, so people sitting farther away may not feel as much heat. However, Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s radiant fireplaces are designed to radiate heat effectively, ensuring that even larger spaces receive adequate warmth.
2. Clearance Requirements
 
Radiant wood fireplaces get hot to the touch, so they require more clearance from walls, furniture, and combustible materials. This is an important factor to consider if you’re planning to place a fireplace in a smaller area. However, with the right planning and design, Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s models can be integrated safely into almost any living space.

Pros and Cons of Convective Wood Fireplaces

To help clarify the differences, here are some of the pros and cons of convective fireplaces for comparison. 

Pros of Convective Wood Fireplaces

1. Gradual, Even Heating
 
Convective fireplaces excel at providing gentle, evenly distributed warmth. They’re ideal for smaller, insulated rooms where they can gradually warm the entire space.
2. Closer Clearances
 
Convective fireplaces don’t radiate as much heat outward, so they require less clearance from walls and furniture. This makes them a good option for more compact spaces or rooms with limited floor space.

Cons of Convective Wood Fireplaces

1. Slower Heating
 
Convective fireplaces can take longer to make a room feel warm, as they need time to circulate heated air. For those looking for immediate warmth, they may not be as satisfying. 
2. Less Effective in Open Spaces
 
In large or open-plan areas, convective heaters may struggle to provide consistent warmth. They work best in enclosed spaces where the heated air can circulate more effectively. 
3. Circulation of Particles
 
The use of fans to push warm air around the room also means dust, pollen, and other particles can be pushed with it. This can be bad news for those prone to hay fever or sensitive to dust irritation. 
4. Noise from Fans
 
The use of fans in a convective fireplace unfortunately also comes with the additional noise made by the fans. While not deafening, it can detract from the romantic crackle of the fire. 

Why Choose a Radiant Heating Wood Fireplaces?

Radiant wood fireplaces from Sculpt Fireplace Collection offer immediate warmth, cosy ambiance, and powerful heating—perfect for open-plan spaces, high ceilings, or rustic retreats. Built from high-quality materials, they deliver lasting performance and style. Ideal for those who value efficient heating and classic charm, radiant models provide direct heat and enhance any home’s comfort and aesthetic.

Slow Combustion vs Open Fireplaces

Posted on March 10th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

When choosing a fireplace, homeowners are often torn between the charm of a traditional open fire and the practicality of a slow combustion heater. However, when it comes to efficiency, safety, and sustainability, slow combustion heaters, stand out as the superior choice. Here we’ll explore why a slow combustion heater is a smarter, more eco-friendly, and cost-effective choice compared to an open fireplace. 

1. Superior Heating Efficiency

One of the most significant advantages of slow combustion heaters over open fireplaces is their efficiency in heating. Open fireplaces lose a vast amount of heat through the chimney, with only about 10-20% of the heat generated actually warming the room. In contrast, slow combustion heaters retain and radiate well over half of the heat they produce. Making them far more efficient at keeping your home warm. 

The Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s range of slow combustion heaters is particularly impressive in this respect. These heaters are engineered to maximise heat retention while using less wood compared to traditional open fires. They are made from high-quality materials such as cast iron and steel, which provide excellent heat conductivity, ensuring that the warmth spreads evenly throughout the room. 

2. Reduced Environmental Impact

In an increasingly eco-conscious world, reducing our environmental footprint is essential, and slow combustion heaters are a step in the right direction. These heaters burn wood more completely than open fireplaces, resulting in lower emissions of harmful gases and pollutants. The slow, controlled burn in a closed combustion system ensures that wood is burned more efficiently, producing less smoke and ash. 

Sculpt Fireplace Collection heaters are designed to adhere to strict environmental standards. Sculpt’s slow combustion models feature advanced air control systems such as the patented DAFS technology, optimising combustion and ensuring that fewer particulates and carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere while enhancing efficiency and heat output. This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners who are looking for a more environmentally friendly heating solution. 

3. Cost Savings on Firewood

Another key benefit of choosing a slow combustion heater is the cost savings on fuel. Open fireplaces require large amounts of wood to maintain the fire, as much of the heat escapes through the chimney. As a result, you’ll need to continually feed the fire to keep your home warm. Slow combustion heaters, on the other hand, use less wood while providing more heat. The tightly sealed design allows for a controlled, long-lasting burn, meaning you won’t need to refuel as often. 

The Sculpt Fireplace Collection offers models that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly efficient in their fuel use. By choosing a slow combustion heater, you can significantly reduce your wood consumption and enjoy substantial savings over time. Plus, the reduced need for frequent wood restocking is an added convenience for busy homeowners and means wood stores can be more compact.

4. Enhanced Safety Features

Safety is always a concern when using an open fire. Open fireplaces, by their very nature, expose the flames, creating potential hazards such as sparks, embers, or even logs falling out onto your floor. These dangers are minimised with slow combustion heaters, as they are enclosed systems, keeping the fire contained behind glass doors. This barrier greatly reduces the risk of fire-related accidents, making slow combustion heaters a much safer option for families and pets.

These heaters from Sculpt Fireplace Collection include robust safety features. This includes flue damper door locks, heat-resistant glass doors and insulated handles. Additionally, these models have precise airflow controls, which allow you to regulate the intensity of the fire, ensuring that it doesn’t get out of control. With these heaters, you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a fire with peace of mind.

5. Longer Burn Time and Consistent Heat

One of the frustrations of open fireplaces is their inability to maintain a consistent temperature for long periods. Once the fire dies down, the room quickly cools, requiring frequent tending and the addition of more wood. Slow combustion heaters, however, are designed to burn wood slowly and steadily. Providing consistent heat for extended periods without needing constant supervision. 

Sculpt’s slow combustion models excel in this area, offering advanced firebox technology that maximises the burn time of each log. With a slow combustion heater, you can enjoy a warm, comfortable home throughout the night without the need to constantly tend to the fire. Cast Iron or refractory brick linings combined with the extended heating capabilities of a slow combustion fireplace means you can go to sleep with the fire burning and wake up to a still-warm room in the morning! 

6. Modern Design and Aesthetic Appeal

While the rustic charm of an open fireplace appeals to some, the practicality of such units can be a trade off. The Sculpt Fireplace Collection offers styles ranging from cast iron Cheminees, through to contemporary linear fireboxes. With such a range of stylish, elegant heaters that complement both traditional and modern interiors there is an option to suit every style that won’t compromise on performance.  

The large glass viewing windows and options for up to as many as 4 sides of glass. Meaning you can enjoy the mesmerising sight of flames dancing inside. Offering the ambiance of an open fire without the associated inefficiencies. This fusion of style and function makes Sculpt’s slow combustion heaters an excellent addition to any home, blending beauty with practicality. Whether freestanding or inbuilt, modern or traditional, there’s a Sculpt fireplace for you.

7. Minimal Maintenance Requirements

Compared to open fireplaces, which require regular cleaning and ash removal, slow combustion heaters are much easier to maintain. The complete combustion of wood in these heaters results in less ash and soot build-up, meaning you’ll spend less time on maintenance. Additionally, the tightly sealed fireboxes prevent ash and smoke from spreading into your home, ensuring a cleaner living space. 

Sculpt’s slow combustion heaters are built with ease of use in mind. Featuring easy-to-clean designs and long-lasting components. The glass doors are designed to stay clean for longer, thanks to their advanced air wash systems, which keep soot from accumulating on the glass. This low-maintenance aspect adds to the overall appeal of slow combustion heaters, freeing up time for you to enjoy your cozy home instead of cleaning it. 

In Summary

When weighing the benefits of a slow combustion heater versus an open fireplace, the advantages are clear. From superior heating efficiency and environmental benefits to enhanced safety and aesthetic appeal. Slow combustion heaters offer a compelling solution for modern homeowners. Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s range of slow combustion heaters embodies all these benefits, offering efficient, eco-friendly, and stylish heating solutions tailored to contemporary lifestyles. 

Investing in this type of heater not only enhances your home’s comfort but also helps reduce your environmental impact and energy costs. With Sculpt Fireplace Collection, you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of a fire while reaping the rewards of advanced technology and design.

Fireplace Styling Tips for an Australian Summer

Posted on March 3rd, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Style your Fireplace with these Helpful Fireplace Styling Tips

As the temperatures rise and fireplaces take a backseat from their primary role, they can still be a stylish centrepiece in your home. Whether you’re decorating for the season or looking to celebrate a summer Christmas, here are some creative tips to transform your fireplace into a statement piece during the warmer months. 

Style with Native Flora

Embrace the beauty of Australian nature by arranging native plants and flowers within your fireplace. Consider using eucalyptus branches, kangaroo paw, or banksia flowers to create a vibrant display. These natural elements not only add texture and colour but also celebrate the unique flora of the region. To elevate the look, place the arrangements in decorative pots, baskets, or woven trays. When it’s time to fire it back up for winter, many of these decorations can stay in the fireplace to simply be burnt off.

Transform It into a Herb Garden

For a practical and visually appealing option, repurpose your fireplace into a small herb garden. Plant aromatic herbs such as basil, parsley, and mint and arrange them neatly within the fireplace. Ensure the area receives adequate sunlight to support growth. This green touch brings life into your space while providing fresh ingredients for summer recipes. 

Add an Ethanol Burner for Ambiance

If you’re missing the cosy glow of a fire, consider adding an ethanol burner to your fireplace. These burners offer the beauty of real flames without the intense heat of a wood-burning fire, making them ideal for summer evenings. They’re also clean-burning, stylish, and easy to install, allowing you to enjoy the ambiance of flickering flames all year round. 

Style with Seasonal and Festive Decorations

Take advantage of an Australian summer Christmas. This time of year offers a unique opportunity to blend festive cheer with seasonal decor. Fill your fireplace with Christmas decorations, such as light-coloured ornaments, Christmas lights in or around the fireplace, or pinecones accented with gold or silver. For a non-festive option, decorate with lanterns, fairy lights, or beach-themed items like driftwood and seashells.

A favourite with young families, an unused fireplace through summer is a great opportunity for a cheeky elf or Santa Clause to find themselves with their legs dangling from the chimney into the fireplace! 

Illuminate with Candles

A simple yet elegant way to style your fireplace is by filling it with candles. opt for varying heights and widths, and use pillar candles or LED versions for safety. Arrange them in clusters or on candle holders to create a warm and inviting glow in the evenings. If mosquitoes are a problem, try a citronella option to ward them away from your home. 

Play with Textures

Add depth to your fireplace by incorporating different textures. Stack decorative logs neatly for a rustic touch, or use woven baskets filled with books or rolled-up blankets for a cozy look. These additions bring charm and functionality to your space. 

Style the Mantel for Summer

Don’t forget the mantel! Lighten it up with summer-inspired decorations like fresh flowers in vases, seashell arrangements, or framed botanical prints. Keep the palette airy with whites, pastels, or natural tones to complement the season’s vibe. 

Your fireplace doesn’t have to go unnoticed during the summer months. With these styling tips, you can turn it into a stunning focal point that celebrates the warmth and beauty of summer. Whether it’s filled with native plants, transformed into a herb garden, or adorned with festive decorations, your fireplace can radiate style and charm all year long.
