The Fireplace Return Frames – Solid Fuel or Gas are practical finishing frames designed to provide a neat, clean edge around a fireplace opening while suiting either gas or solid fuel applications, depending on the selected finish and specification. With a classic 2″ face and 2″ return profile, these return frames offer a straightforward way to create a more complete and polished fireplace presentation.
Designed to suit a range of fireplace styles, these frames are available in black, polished steel, brushed steel and polished brass finishes. This choice of finish makes them flexible enough to work across both more traditional and more contemporary settings, allowing the frame to complement the wider fireplace design rather than simply act as a functional trim.
A key detail with this range is that suitability depends on the specific frame selected. Black return frames are suitable for both gas and solid fuel use, while polished steel, brushed steel and standard brass versions are generally listed for gas. For solid fuel use in polished brass or polished steel, the return is specified as black, giving the frame the correct configuration for that application. This is an important distinction when selecting the right product for the intended fire type.
The range includes several code options across slightly different specifications, including some 2″ x 2″ formats and a 2″ x 1″ brass option. This allows the correct frame to be chosen based on finish, fire type and required profile. As a result, these return frames are a practical solution for customers wanting a tidy fireplace edge with clear compatibility for gas or solid fuel installations.
