"Chazelles Cheminee was named after Chazelles, the place in which the company was established in the 1970s. The family business began with nine staff and now Chazelles employees 450 people working in its 20,000 square metre production plant covering 7 hectares of land.

Today, some of Chazelles’ high energy and environmental performance fireboxes are enhanced with carved stone fireplace surrounds derived from the same local Charente stone and carefully carved by Chazelle’s highly skilled tradesmen. A skill embraced by them just as their early ancestors who produced such high quality work on and in the Chateau d’Angouleme and many others. Their expertise admired by many who visit the Chateau today.

Chazelles is ranked as the number one French manufacturer of wood burning fireboxes. The factory utilises the latest technically advanced equipment. The quality of materials and Chazelles processes ensure that every fireplace manufactured is of the highest standard providing years of use and enjoyment for every customer throughout the world. Their range of different sizes with 1 to 3 doors accommodate the heating of large and small rooms and can be built in the centre or side wall position. Chazelles is the world’s first and number one slow combustion / open fireplace with a unique retractable glass door that gives you the choice of enjoying a real open fire along with the efficiency and safety of slow combustion heating when you slide the door securely down."
