Gas fires - Which Gas Fire is right for your home?

The type of chimney or flue you have dictates the type of gas fire you can have in your home. But if you’re not sure, then take a look at the below for a simple guide of what fire you will need. It’s worth remembering
that a full depth fire usually requires a traditional chimney whilst slimline gas fires will fit virtually any chimney or flue.

Brick Chimney Fires
This type of flue is easily recognisable by a chimney stack with accompanying terracotta pot or gas terminal on your roof; with these type of flues you can either have a full depth or slimline gas fire. However we always point out with Full depth gas fires make sure you check the depth size of the appliance in comparison to the depth you have in your opening.

Pre-Fabricated Flue Fires
Pre-fabricated flues are dentifiable by a metal flue and terminal on the roof and a metal flue box behind the fire.

Pre-Cast Flue Fires
Pre-cast flues can be identified by a ridge vent or metal flue tube and terminal on the roof. Constructed from concrete or clay blocks they form a rectangular section flue. Many customers who have this type of flue can only have slimline gas fire due to the depth in there opening, so to ensure you purchase the correct fire contact fires2u with your depth dimension and we will check this size against the gas fire depth.

No Flue? Have a look at the below options of gas fires that you may be able to have fitted in your home -


Power flue Fires
Powerflue fires use an electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall to expel the flue gases directly outside the building. A sophisticated microprocessor monitors performance and automatically shuts off the fire in the unlikely event of operation failure. This type of gas fire is an open fronted gas fire and as it comes with the flue system it has to be fitted on an external wall.

Balanced Flue Fires
Balanced Flue gas fires use a horizontal pipe to vent directly outside, the outer pipe draws air from the outside and the inner pipe expels combustion gases. An electricity supply is not required for Balanced Flue products. All these type of gas fires are glass fronted and as these fires come with there flue system they have to be fitted on an external wall as well.
 
Flueless fires incorporate the latest in gas fire technology however do not need a chimney or flue to operate or even an outside wall! Instead, the combustion gases pass through a catalytic converter system, positioned at the top of the appliance, which converts carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapour, levels of which are so low they are typically present in fresh air. In fact, the catalytic converter works so effectively that it can actually help to clean the air by neutralising airborne particles and odours, therefore helping to reduce household allergies. Flueless gas fire have become a very popular especially in homes that have been built recently and come in various designs to suite any room style.

At fires2u we have over 200 gas fires and over 100 fires suitable for homes that do not have flue, so you really can find your perfect gas fire at fires2u so what are you waiting for - your fire is just click away!
