A SPECIALIST fireplace store in Stubbins has had an eye-catching makeover.

The exterior of Burning Desire Fireplace Showrooms in Cuba Industrial Estate, Bolton Road North, is now adorned with a 15ft x 15ft blown up image of the latest top-of-the-range fire place.

The company’s boss said it was a good way of showing off one of its best sale items.

The large section of the building’s exterior, placed to the left of the company’s main branding, gives the illusion of the entrance being open and revealing the feature set back in a room with a polished wooden floor.

The fireplace depicted is a GAZCO Reflex gas fire with Sandringham limestone mantel.

Ben Armstrong, managing director of Burning Desire, said: “The new fires from GAZCO are fantastic.

“And what better way to represent what we have on display in our showrooms than showing this fire in all its glory.”

The originally Bury-based company expanded and moved into the Stubbins site in 2009.

The 2,500 sq ft unit allows the firm to display more than 60 contemporary and traditional fireplaces, as well as solid fuel stoves.

GAZCO says its Reflex fires maker “excellent additions” to any home and are designed to fit with a 36-inch chimney breast.
