"Who Else Wants FREE Step-By-Step Fireplace Designs That Show You How To Build A Better Fireplace?"

From The Desk Of: Tim Knotts

Fellow Renovator,

I set this website up because I love all aspects of design, particularly fireplace design. However, I hate the exclusive, snobby attitude that some designers have. Everyone should be able to enjoy beauty and good design. That’s why I want to share my fireplace design knowledge with as many people as possible.

Since you’ve found this website I’m assuming you love beautiful fireplace designs as much as I do. The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for fireplace ideas and building tips. While doing some research, I stumbled upon a fantastic manuscript by The Majestic Company.

They are one of the most well known and respected fireplace builders of the last century and continue to be a leader in the industry today.

I noticed that most of their work was available online with the exception of one of the most important pieces of work, ‘How To Plan And Build A Better Fireplace’.  Even though it was first published in 1958, this book has the best fireplace design and building information I have ever seen.

In the 23 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:

  • Why you need to plan for appearance
  • The decision making process—traditional or modern
  • How to gain the best heat source possible.
  • Recognise design faults that lead to a non-efficient fireplace
  • Learn how a smoke chamber, flue, smoke shelf, damper and hearth should work
  • The answers to common questions
  • Tips on construction and how to achieve efficient burning

If this is the kind of information that you have been looking for, here’s the good news…

I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish The Majestic Company’s complete work on this website. Although I had to pay to have the manuscript reformatted and published online, fireplace design is my passion. Therefore, I want to share this book with as many people as possible for free.

The information is second to none and you’ll soon have a beautiful and efficient fireplace that will be the envy of your house guests.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Cheers and Happy Roasting

Tim Knotts
