Cliftons Designer Fireplace Studio: fireplaces and stoves in Wrexham

Cliftons Designer Fireplace Studio is a family-run fireplace business based in Wrexham, now in its third generation, which describes nearly 50 years of experience serving customers across North Wales and the surrounding areas. Its showroom brings together wood-burning stoves, gas fires, electric fireplaces and bespoke surrounds, drawn from what the company presents as a curated selection of UK manufacturers, among them Elgin & Hall and Charlton & Jenrick.

The business positions itself as a specialist in helping customers choose a fire as the centrepiece of a room, taking into account design, colour finish, fuel bed and controls, and it states that it works with both homeowners and landlords.

Gas and electric fires

The gas fire range is organised by chimney and flue type, since the suitability of an appliance depends on the installation. The electric range covers wall-mounted models and classically styled stoves, and the company highlights that electric appliances can be used in any room with access to a mains socket.

For customers who want a combined fire and surround, Cliftons offers gas fireplaces engineered to fit a standard opening without additional building work, and electric fireplaces for homes without mains gas, which can be installed against any flat wall. The electric fireplaces are described as using LED technology to produce a flickering log effect, and are available in a range of styles, sizes and finishes.

Stoves, surrounds and media walls

The stove selection spans multifuel, woodburning, gas, bio ethanol and electric models. The company presents build quality and efficiency above that of an open fire as the common trait across the range, and suggests pairing a stove with one of its chamber, beam and hearth packages.

Surrounds are offered in Micro Marble and Timber in a variety of styles. Some come in standard sizes, while the company notes occasional scope for made-to-measure special orders when particular measurements must be met.

Media walls are presented as a way of setting a television, satellite boxes and cables within an existing wall and placing an electric fireplace directly underneath. Media wall fires are available in various lengths, with each brand offering its own flame picture.

Chambers, hearths, beams and outdoor living

Chambers, hearths and beams are handmade from materials including slate, brick, granite and porcelain tiles, with combinations the company describes as extensive. The Outdoor Living range extends the catalogue beyond the interior with outdoor stoves, pizza ovens, wood-fired barbecues and fire pits.

The range is completed by acoustic wall panels in a selection of colours and sizes, accessories such as high-efficiency stove fans, glass cleaners and regenerative coal sprays, and log baskets and holders in traditional and contemporary designs.

Advice, installation and aftercare

Cliftons frames its role as guidance rather than pure retail: it states that it helps customers match a fireplace to the space, layout, fuel preference and lifestyle, whether for a living-room centrepiece, a compact stove for a snug or a built-in electric fire for a media wall. For installation, the company says it can recommend trusted, fully qualified installers. It also refers to long-term support for the products it retails and to aftercare once a sale is complete.

Homeowners and landlords

The appointment request system distinguishes two customer profiles. Homeowners can request a quotation or an annual service, report a breakdown or repair, or raise another matter. Landlords have a parallel route that includes quotations, gas safety checks, breakdowns and repairs, with company name requested in their form.
