Fireplace 3D configurator: buyers see the fireplace in their living room
A fireplace is heating and the focal point of a living room, so buyers take time over shape and cladding. A few photos of finished installs do not show how a corner firebox in stone will look in their room. A fireplace 3D configurator shows their chosen version and puts together the whole set, flue included.
Short answer
What is a fireplace 3D configurator?
A fireplace 3D configurator is a tool on a maker's or installer's website where the buyer chooses fireplace shape, firebox, cladding, log store and flue type, and the 3D model and price update instantly. Trimata builds it from the fireboxes and finishes you offer, so each enquiry already lists the full set.

What buyers ask before ordering a fireplace or stove
- Can I have a fireplace if the house has no chimney?
- What heat output do I need for my living room?
- How far does it have to be from a timber wall?
- Will the glass blacken if I light it every evening?
- Can it heat other rooms as well?
- What is the difference between a cast iron and a steel stove?
What buyers can choose in the configurator
The configurator only shows fireboxes and flues that suit the chosen shape and heat output.
| Choice | Options | Why show it in 3D |
|---|---|---|
| Type and position | wall, corner, island, double sided between rooms, freestanding stove | The buyer sees how much space it takes and where the fire can be seen from. |
| Firebox | flat glass, corner with two panes, three sided, lift up door, different outputs | The glass shape decides how much fire is on show, which matters more to buyers than the spec sheet. |
| Cladding | render, natural stone, large format tiles, sheet metal, concrete effect | Cladding is a big part of the price and is best judged in the room. |
| Dimensions | fireplace width and height, hood height to the ceiling, hearth height | The buyer sees proportions for their own ceiling height, not a showroom's. |
| Log store and bench | open log niche, closed niche, bench beside the fire, shelf | These change the outline of the fireplace, so they are worth seeing before buying. |
| Flue | modular stainless steel, ceramic, internal or external, height above the roof | The flue is often left out of quotes, and the model shows it as a required part of the system. |
| Stove colour and extras | black, grey, white, legs or pedestal, heat storing stone, floor plate | A stove stands in the open, so every detail is on show and has to be chosen visually. |
Add-ons that raise the order value
Fireplaces and stoves often sell with heat storing cladding that keeps warmth longer, an outside air supply, warm air ducting to other rooms, a water heat exchanger, a floor plate and a tool set.
Heat storing stone is a typical case. Buyers hear that the warmth will last longer but cannot see what they are paying for. When the model shows extra layers of stone around the firebox with the price difference beside it, the choice gets easier.
A log niche and bench often feel like decoration that can wait. Seen on the model as part of the whole fireplace, it is clear that adding them later would be harder and dearer.
Which 3D format suits fireplaces
| Format | Fit | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 3D configurator | Strong fit | When you offer several shapes, fireboxes and claddings and buyers want to see the combination and price. |
| 3D view with AR | Strong fit | When buyers want to stand a stove or fireplace in their living room on a phone and check the size. |
| Renders and video | Strong fit | When you need the same fireplace in different claddings with a live fire, without shooting at clients' homes. |
| B2B quote builder | Weaker fit | Only if you work with developers who order the same fireplace spec for several houses. |
