The trust you place in us obliges us to aim for excellence. We stay with you from the first idea until the fire is lit for the first time.

Experience and ongoing training
Our added value is the experience of all these years. We keep training and adapting to new trends without forgetting what we have learnt.
Trusted architects and interior designers
We work with architects we trust and have an interior design team to make the most of every space.
What we do

We specialise in the sale, made-to-measure fabrication and installation of fireplaces and stoves. Gas fireplaces are our flagship product, but we work with every fuel.
Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves
Open hearths, cassettes and inserts, stoves and made-to-measure fireplaces, with the flue hidden in a hood or in the wall.

Built-in or prefabricated barbecues, modules with worktops, gas fireplaces for the garden and outdoor heaters for homes and businesses.
Outdoor fireplacesClimate control and maintenance

Ask for informationHow we work
From design to finishing touches, with one team
Our aim is that you do not have to look for different specialists: we design, build, install and carry out the building work needed.
What we take care of on every job
A design made for your space
You tell us what you need and we work to make the most of the space, with trusted architects and our interior design team.
Made to measure
We make whatever the project calls for: wood-burning cassettes, brass or iron surrounds, benches, bookcases and iron furniture built to measure.
Certified installers
All our installers are certified and we follow current regulations. For gas we hold the official approval and carry out leak-tightness tests before handover.
Coordinated works
We coordinate everything on site, whether building work, renovation or installation, in flats, buildings, shops or industrial units, so nothing is left half done.
The four stages of every project
This is how we have described our work for years, and how we still do it.
Initial design
You explain what you need and we work out how to make the most of the space, with trends, creativity and practicality in mind.
Preparation
Once the project is approved, we manage fabrication with the most suitable materials, the logistics, the necessary permits and the timings.
Installation
We fit the fireplace or the unit and carry out the building work needed, coordinating every trade involved.
Finishing touches
We see the job through to the final finishes. All you have to do is add the logs and light the fire.

Our name
Clima Difusión and Project Difusión
You may have seen our name next to Project Difusión, which specialises in full renovations, installations and fireplace projects. Between the two we cover fireplaces, heating and cooling, all kinds of renovations, installations and interior design.
We work together, for instance, on solar PV, which we design, install and maintain together with Project Difusión, and on jobs where the fireplace is part of a renovation, such as the gas fireplace in Til·lers, Barcelona. We also wrote about it on our blog: Clima Difusión y Project Difusión, un año lleno de buenas ideas.
Clima Difusión is not Fuego Difusión
Because the names are similar, people sometimes confuse us with Fuego Difusión. They are different companies: Fuego Difusión is based in Dénia, while Clima Difusión is a family business in Barcelona, with a showroom on C/ Allada Vermell and offices in Vilassar de Mar.
If you are looking for our fireplaces, our projects or a quote, you are in the right place: call us on 934 585 602 or 638 467 751.
How to find us
Our trading name is Clima Difusión (Clima Difusió in Catalan). On Google Maps the showroom is listed as “Clima Difusión Exposición”; our offices are at C/Gregal 3, Local 3, 08340 Vilassar de Mar.
