When it came to selecting a fireplace for their expansive open-plan living spaces and high ceilings, the homeowners knew they needed something exceptional. The Lopi 6015 HO Linear Gas Fireplace proved to be the ideal solution for the homeowners’ expansive open living spaces and high ceilings. With its impressive heating capacity of up to 260Sqm and advanced features including flame level control, smart thermostat mode, and lighting control, it offered everything modern homeowners demand.

What truly sets this installation apart is the meticulous attention to detail in the surrounding materials and design. The fireplace is beautifully framed by Travertine concave kit-kat tiles, each approximately 300mm long, creating a sophisticated textural element that complements the modern aesthetic of the home. This feature combined with the tall dancing flames of the 6015HO GS2 create an extraordinary focal point for the home, enhancing the feeling of luxury and warmth in the home.

The designers drawing on their instincts, made a crucial decision to soften the original square surround design. By adding subtle curves to the edges, they created visual relief in a space that features many flat and large surfaces, demonstrating how thoughtful design choices can transform a good installation into an exceptional one.

The Lopi 6015 HO GS2 Linear Gas Fireplace is packed with cutting-edge features that make it perfect for year-round enjoyment. The GreenSmart 2 (GS2) system provides complete control over the fireplace’s operation, allowing homeowners to adjust flame levels and underbed lighting over six intervals, and operating on a smart thermostat mode that modulates the flame to keep the room temperature consistent for optimal comfort and efficiency.

The linear design creates a striking focal point that enhances the modern aesthetic of the home while providing substantial heating capacity for the large open-plan living areas. The clean lines and contemporary profile perfectly complement the home’s architectural style, creating a seamless integration between form and function.

The success of this installation is perhaps best summarized by the homeowners themselves: “Lopi fireplace is of great quality, and it works like a charm – a great addition to our house.”

This install serves as perfect inspiration for homeowners looking to incorporate a linear fireplace into their modern living spaces, demonstrating how the right choice of fireplace and thoughtful design details can create a stunning focal point that enhances both the aesthetic and functionality of a modern home.

The combination of advanced technology, elegant design, and quality craftsmanship makes the Lopi 6015 HO GS2 Linear Gas Fireplace an excellent choice for modern Australian homes seeking both style and substance.

Regency Fireplace Products specialises in premium indoor and outdoor gas, wood and electric fireplaces. With a range encompassing everything from freestanding wood heaters to built-in linear gas fireplaces and high-efficiency in-built wood options, every Regency fireplace is designed to suit the unique needs of Australian homes and lifestyles.

“We design fireplaces that not only provide reliable heat, but also become a feature in the home,” a representative from Regency Fireplace Products explains. “Our focus is on quality materials, clean design and consistent performance. What really sets us apart is that we engineer our products to handle the demands of real-world use — long burning times, ease of control, and the ability to heat large open-plan spaces. And importantly, we support our products with local service, parts and experienced dealers across the country.”

Two standout additions to Regency’s impressive 2025 line-up include the GFi750 Gas Inbuilt and the Ei25 Electric Insert. Both units offer flexibility for renovations and new builds alike, and they reflect Regency’s ongoing commitment to providing efficient, low-maintenance heating solutions that suit a wide range of Australian homes.

The GFi750 is sleek and modern, designed for Australian homes where performance and aesthetics are equally important. Boasting a wide, clean-faced viewing area, powerful heat output and a realistic flame picture, it’s a great solution for homeowners wanting the warmth and look of a real fire, without the maintenance of wood.

The Ei25 is Regency’s newest electric insert. Designed to easily retrofit into existing fireplaces or built into custom cabinetry, it offers realistic flame visuals, multiple colour and media options and instant heat with the convenience of a remote or app. For homes where a flue isn’t an option, the Ei25 brings atmosphere and comfort with zero emissions and no compromise on style.

Regency works closely with a network of independent fireplace specialists across Australia who provide in-home consultations, installation services and ongoing support.

Why Choose Infrared Heating?

Heatstrip uses advanced infrared radiant technology — a smarter way to heat outdoor spaces. Rather than wasting energy warming the air (which can be quickly lost in breezy conditions), infrared heaters warm people and objects directly. The result? Instant comfort, better energy efficiency, and reliable performance even in open alfresco areas.

Where to Install Your Heater: Plan Your Heat Zone

Before installing any heater, consider how you use your outdoor space. Are you creating a cozy dining area? A lounge space for evening drinks? Maybe a spot for winter morning coffee?

Here are a few tips for placement:

• Overhead is ideal: Ceiling-mounted heaters warm from above, mimicking the sun’s natural warmth.
• Focus on the zone: Heat where you sit, not the whole yard. Keep heaters aimed at lounges, dining tables, or bar areas.
• Consider coverage: Heatstrip offers models in different sizes and strengths. Larger areas may need multiple units for even warmth.

Set the Mood: Add Light and Ambiance

Heating isn’t just about warmth — it’s about creating atmosphere. Pair your Heatstrip with ambient outdoor lighting to elevate your space. Think dimmable overhead lights, soft LED strips, or lanterns to complement the heater’s warm glow.

Make Every Season Outdoor Season

With Heatstrip, your patio, deck, or courtyard becomes a true year-round living space. It’s the ultimate outdoor upgrade — elegant, effective, and energy-efficient. So instead of retreating indoors when the temperature drops, turn up the heat and enjoy your outdoor haven in every season.

The vision for the renovation was clear: open up the home, rearrange the floorplan to create a better living space for the owners, bring in more natural lighting, and create a modern lifestyle layout that didn’t erase the character of the old cottage. To achieve this, the team removed the existing sunroom and balcony at the rear of the home, replacing it with a light-filled extension that now houses a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This heart of the home flows seamlessly into the newly landscaped backyard, complete with a sparkling new pool—perfect for Sydney’s warm summers and relaxed outdoor lifestyle.

Central to this new space is the Lopi 564CF 35K GS2 Gas fireplace, proudly positioned in the living room. This fireplace was more than just a design choice; it was the homeowners’ dream feature. A fireplace was non-negotiable—and the team at Three Birds Renovations chose the perfect unit. The clean-face design offers a sleek, contemporary profile, while still providing the warmth and ambience of a traditional hearth.

The traditional styling of the Lopi 564 series blends effortlessly into the overall aesthetic of the home. Its rich black trim contrasts beautifully with the soft, natural tones used throughout, while the tall, captivating flames add movement and elegance to the space. As part of Lopi’s premium gas fireplace range, this model is equipped with both Top Down and Ember-Glo accent lighting, enhancing the beauty of the fire and increasing the realism of the log set.

Beyond its visual appeal, the 564CF 35K GS2 delivers serious performance. With a powerful heat output capable of warming up to 158sqm, it’s more than capable of heating the home’s expansive open-plan living area—even during Sydney’s coldest winter nights.

This model also features Lopi’s GreenSmart 2 (GS2) system, giving homeowners advanced control over the fireplace, from adjusting accent lighting to operating the unit in Smart Thermostat mode which modulates flame height to maintain a consistent room temperature — combining comfort, efficiency, and innovation all in one system.

To elevate the look further, a special render finish was applied to the fireplace surround, giving it a textured, artisan feel that anchors the space. TV provisions were also seamlessly integrated into the design, ensuring functionality didn’t compromise style. Whether lit for warmth on a cool evening or simply admired as a statement piece, the fireplace is the undeniable centrepiece of the home.

The renovation’s interior palette leans heavily into neutral tones and natural stone finishes, offering a soft, calming backdrop that complements the home’s cottage roots while giving it a timeless, modern edge. High ceilings amplify the sense of space, while large glass doors and strategically placed skylights allow natural light to flood every corner of the home.

It’s this thoughtful balance of old and new that makes House 17 so special. From the carefully chosen materials to the open, airy layout and standout fireplace, every element of this renovation has been considered with both style and lifestyle in mind.

The 564CF 35K GS2 is available in either Natural Gas or LPG (Bottled Gas) configurations, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an efficient, traditional gas fireplace equipped with advanced technologies.

Having a chiminea or fire pit entices people to gather and relax, and it extends the use of your outdoor living space, creating warmth and ambience year-round. And when it comes to woodfired cooking, well, that’s a surefire way to keep guests coming back for more.

Aussie Heatwave Fireplaces specialises in woodfired outdoor heating and cooking products, offering an array of chimineas, fire pits and pizza ovens. “We are a husband-and-wife business that sells premium-quality products that will stand the test of time. What’s more, all of our chimineas are made in Australia — in rural Victoria — and we’re proud to support local industry and manufacturers,” says Andrew Fenton, who runs the business with his wife Liz.

The latest addition to the collection is a marine-grade, cast-aluminium chiminea. “This provides the option of a more modern look with people able to choose the natural light-grey finish or a black high-temperature paint finish,” says Andrew. “Also, the new alloy chiminea, weighing in at 34kg, is one-third the weight of the cast-iron version and radiates 20 per cent more heat.”

In addition to being a woodfired outdoor heater, any Aussie Heatwave chiminea can be easily transformed into a woodfired barbecue or pizza oven — all it takes is the addition of a cooking attachment which you place on top. However you choose to use it, your chiminea can turn your outdoor entertaining space from drab to fab in an instant, and it changes the way you use your alfresco area, making it a much more inviting and versatile space.

As well as having a showroom in the Melbourne suburb of Mulgrave, Aussie Heatwave Fireplaces has a well-stocked online shop. “The benefit of dealing with a company that has a physical showroom is that we hold stock, so we can supply our products immediately,” says Andrew. “Our Melbourne-based customers can come to our showroom and take their chiminea, fire pit or pizza oven home that day and then fire it up that night. For everyone else, we deliver nationwide.

“We are extremely passionate about our products,” adds Andrew. “It’s great to be in a business that brings people joy and encourages social interaction. There really is nothing better than sitting around a fire listening to it crackle and pop, and being mesmerised by the flickering flames.”

Having been in the business for more than 20 years, Andrew and Liz know all there is to know about woodfired heating and cooking, so can offer expert advice as well as friendly service. “We strive to make our customers feel special and to provide a personalised, enjoyable and memorable buying experience,” says Andrew.

Concrete milling enables you to chase into the floor, creating a channel to embed hydronic underfloor heating pipe into the slab, eliminating the need to add a 50mm topping screed.

Milling concrete floors for underfloor hydronic heating systems is a practical and efficient method to ensure comfortable temperatures in your living spaces. This process involves removing a precise channel of the existing concrete floor to accommodate the installation of water pipes or tubes for the hydronic heating system.

By milling the concrete floor, you create channels that seamlessly integrate the heating system without compromising the structural integrity of the floor. These channels are strategically designed to distribute warm water evenly throughout the floor, providing efficient heat transfer and an even distribution of warmth in every room.

Milling offers numerous advantages for underfloor hydronic heating installations. Firstly, it allows for precise placement of the heating pipes, ensuring optimal performance and avoiding potential disruptions caused by uneven heating. This method also allows for easy customization, as different sections of the floor can be milled to accommodate specific heating requirements in different areas of the house.

Furthermore, milling the concrete floor for underfloor heating provides a solution to limited headroom. Unlike traditional radiator systems, underfloor heating doesn’t require bulky radiators, allowing homeowners to make the most of their available space. This is particularly advantageous in areas with low ceiling height or in modern architectural designs that prioritize minimalist aesthetics.

Additionally, the process of milling helps to remove any imperfections or uneven surfaces present on the concrete floor, thus ensuring a more visually appealing and uniform flooring finish. It also facilitates the adhesion of any subsequent floor coverings, such as tiles or wood, resulting in a seamless and flawless flooring application.

Overall, milling concrete floors for underfloor hydronic heating is a beneficial technique that provides homeowners with an efficient and effective heating solution. It ensures a comfortable living environment, maximizes space utilization, and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the flooring.
