Flavel Waverley Inset Gas Fire Tray – The Ideal Solution for Reviving Traditional 16” Fireplace Openings
Breathe new life into your existing fireplace with the Flavel Waverley Gas Fire Tray, an inset tapered gas tray that combines traditional style with modern convenience. Specifically designed for use within a standard 16" fire opening, the Waverley is a brilliant option for homeowners looking to maintain the character of an open fire while benefiting from the ease and cleanliness of a gas appliance. If you're restoring a period fireplace or, the Flavel Waverley offers a simple and affordable solution.
This tapered gas tray is the perfect replacement ‘engine’ for open fireplaces that were once fuelled by coal or wood. The tray’s clever design allows it to slot neatly into fireplaces with an existing chair brick, making installation simple and hassle-free. It delivers a gorgeous ambient glow through its lifelike loose coal bed, creating the visual charm of a real fire without the mess, smoke, or maintenance of solid fuel.
As this model doesn’t come with an outer firebox, it offers exceptional flexibility. It can be installed into some cast iron inserts that already feature their own integral back panel, or it can replace the gas tray section of an existing fire with ease – perfect for renovations or budget-friendly repairs. Operated manually via discreet controls at the base, the Flavel Waverley puts warmth and atmosphere at your fingertips.
With a direct heat output of 2.7kW, this gas fire tray is designed primarily for decorative purposes rather than whole-room heating. However, it’s capable of taking the chill off during milder evenings or creating a cosy focal point in lounges, dining rooms, or bedrooms. For homes with a traditional chimney or pre-fabricated flue system, the Flavel Waverley fits perfectly into place, bringing warmth and elegance wherever it's installed.
Safety is paramount, and the Waverley is equipped with an Airwatch system and Flame Supervision Device (FSD), offering reassurance and peace of mind. No additional room ventilation is usually required, making it a practical choice for most standard room settings.
If you’re looking to retain the look of a traditional coal fire without the upkeep, the Flavel Waverley is an excellent, low-cost alternative. And for those looking to complete the look, a wide range of compatible frets and trims – such as the classic black Bauhaus fret – are available separately to match your décor.
