The feeling he had when he installed his first fireplace at the age of 19 has never disappeared. As the owner of CW Rustiekbouw, this feeling has driven him to design and realize fireplaces and stoves every day for over twenty years. He also provides characteristic floors around it, making the fireplace a true eye-catcher.

The gem at CW Rustiekbouw is the self-designed lift door fireplace, where the fireplace is equipped with a sliding glass door that goes up and down with a remote control. With this product, the company shows that it looks beyond the applicable standard and that everything can be tailor-made.

The Dutch market is divided. Colard distinguishes two major trends. One half prefers a classic, antique sandstone fireplace that burns on wood, gas, bio-ethanol or gas bottles, the other half prefers sleek and modern: steel fireplaces that burn on gas where permitted or on all other fuels as before. mention.

Yet the professional notices that there is a lot of uncertainty among people about the energy transition so fervently desired by the government. “People are being provided with incorrect information about gas-free heating. It will take a long time before the Netherlands is gas-free. Yet there is always the option of working with gas bottles. If people decide to enrich their existing or new-build home with a gas fireplace, that is possible.”
