Traditional Gas Fires For Any Home
Having established the type of flue you have or not got, then you can work out the style of fire and/or fireplace you can have.
Class 1 — any style of fire, any fireplace, restricted only by the width of the chimney breast. Class 2 — some styles of fire, most fireplaces, restricted by the height of the chamber and width of the chimney breast. Precast — slimline (multiflue) fire, no hole in the wall, most fireplaces restricted by the height of the chamber and width of the chimney breast; some precasts are within the cavity so appear to be flat walls. No chimney — no standard inset fires or hole-in-the-wall styles, but most styles of fireplace.
There are several different types of ignition for gas fires — ask us in the showroom and we'll help you find the most suitable for you. Further choices are the type of fuel bed required, typically coals, pebbles, driftwood or logs.
Finally the outside of the fire is dressed in a trim & fret. Although they are flexible to a point, it should be noted most are designed to fit their own brands and aren't usually interchangeable.
Gas Stoves
If you are looking for the look of a real fire but prefer the instant controllable heat, then there are a selection of gas stoves available, which can be complimented in exactly the same way as a multifuel stove, on a hearth or with a wide style of inglenook fireplaces.
