No matter what style of gas fire you´re looking for, we have hundreds of fires from leading manufacturers to suit all tastes, budgets and flues. From contemporary, wall mounted gas fires to traditional outset gas fires, our comprehensive range are all offered at massively discounted prices. Our continuous investment into gas fire research ensures we can offer what is probably one of the largest ranges of gas fires, whether you wish to heat with natural gas or LPG.
Contemporary Gas Fires
Contemporary designs include inset gas fires designed to be combined within a fireplace and fires that can be installed on the wall without the need of a hearth. Many of these gas fires are offered with a choice of trim and fascia options including chrome, brushed steel and special finishes. This allows you create a modern gas fire that will fit perfectly within your decor.
Traditional Gas Fires
Gas fires in our traditional range are usually finished in brass or black and are more suited to classical designed homes. Most of the inset gas fires are made to inset within a standard fireplace opening. The trims on these gas fires are usually magnetic which allows for easy maintenance and the option to change the look of the fire when interior trends change. Several traditional gas fires are supplied with one-piece fascia frames usually manufactured from cast-iron, these will blend beautiful with cast fascia back panels or darker marble interiors.
Wall Mounted Gas Fires
Increasingly popular due to their modern styling, wall mounted gas fires are available in a large range of sizes and styles. Most wall mounted gas fires do not require a hearth to be installed (subject to manufacturers instructions) which is a bonus for smaller rooms. Open fronted fires tend to be for decorative purposes as due to their design, most heat produced will be lost up the chimney. Glass fronted, wall mounted gas fires generally offer more heat as the products of combustion circulate around the fire bed longer resulting in a higher heat output.
Outset Gas Fires
The majority of Outset Gas Fires are traditionally styled and offer impressive heat output. Suitable for most chimney or flues, this type of fire can be installed within a fireplace, on a hearth or on their own raised up on the wall. Options include high level switches, ideal for elderly people and radiant or convector models. Wood casings are also popular in this range of fires allowing you to choose a finish to match your furniture.
Glass Fronted Gas Fires
These fires offer higher efficiency and are available in all styles including inset or hole-in-the-wall. Easy to remove glass panels allow for annual maintenance and many offer a choice of fuel bed. Leading manufacturers of glass fronted gas fires include; Gazco, Kinder, Verine and Flavel Fires. Whilst a popular choice for families with small children, glass fronted fires get extremely hot and as will all gas appliances, extra care should be taken such as a suitable fire guard.
No Chimney Gas Fires
No Chimney? - No Problem! The majority of new build homes in the UK are built without a chimney or flue. This used to limit homeowners to electric fires however, there is now a large choice of gas fires available.
Balanced Flue Gas Fires are available either inset or outset and are are glass fronted. They vent directly outside through a horizontal co-axial pipe (one pipe within a larger pipe). The outer pipe draws air in from the outside and the inner pipe expels combustion gases. An electricity supply is not required for these products.
Powerflue Gas Fires use a electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall to expel the flue gases directly outside. A sophisticated microprocessor monitors performance and automatically shuts off the fire in the unlikely event of operation failure. The fan eliminates the need of a glass front. Available on both inset and outset gas fires the Powerflue feature requires an electricity supply.
Flueless Gas Fires do not require any chimney or flue or even an outside wall – they use the latest in gas fire technology and can be installed virtually anywhere – the combustion gases produced by the fire pass through a catalytic converter within the appliance which converts the poisonous Carbon Monoxide into harmless Carbon Dioxide and water vapour. Minimum room size and suitable ventilation is required for this type of fire.
Controls
Most gas fires are supplied as manual control as standard and often have the option to upgrade to either Slide control which consists of a lever located at the top of the appliance which gives total control of the gas fire operation or hand held remote control which allow armchair operation.
