European Home was founded in 1999 by Holly and John Markham (below)
European Home’s history dates back to the 1990s when Founder Holly Markham discovered her interest in European design while traveling throughout Europe and Scandinavia. She found it fascinating how architecture preserved the historic nature of the city on the outside, all the while, the interior spaces she encountered were completely renovated and modern. These early influences inspired her to start a business of her own.

QUALITY
Design is a lot like cooking. Technique can only take you so far; in order to be the best you must start with the best ingredients. Our fireplaces are fully welded and constructed out of the highest quality steel and ceramic glass. We believe timeless design deserves timeless craftsmanship.
EFFICIENCY
Many of our fireplaces are designed with a high turndown ratio. The vast difference between the high and low settings allow you the best of both worlds: a roaring fire, or a more intimate flame. Here is a rundown of why each of our lines is an industry-leader for fuel efficiency.
European Home (Vent-Free): 99+% efficient
Being vent-free, these fireplaces keep all of the heat within the room.
Focus (Natural Vent): Up to 74% efficient depending on model.
Not only are Focus suspended fireplaces visually stunning, but because the unit is suspended in-the-round, heat is radiated throughout the room in 360 degrees instead of being lost in the chase of a wall. This makes them considerably more efficient than traditional wood-burning fireplaces.
Flamerite (Electric): Up to 99% efficient depending on model.
Electric fireplaces convert electricity directly into heat, giving electric fireplaces a 99% efficiency rate. And since these fireplaces don’t use chimneys or vents, all the heat stays in the home, instead of being lost outside through the venting.
