Rarely used as the only source of heat for a home, they do provide an attractive focal point as well as quick heat in those cooler spring and autumn evenings when the main heating for the rest of the house may not be needed. We offer a wide range to suit every need.

Manufacturers such as:

•  Baxi
•  Robinson Willey
•  Flavel
•  Valor
•  Wonderfire

produce a host of different styles and types.

Inset Live Flame Effect Fires

Inset fires are designed to fit within a fireplace or chimney opening. They are open fronted and may require an electric supply for ignition or illumination. Some models are available for use with pre-cast flue blocks. Functional and decorative, they make a stunning centrepiece for any room.

Live Flame Effect Fires

These fires are designed to stand proud of a fireplace opening in front of a chimney or flue. They are totally enclosed, using a glass panel to view the live flame effect.

Radiant Fires

This is the original style of gas fire using radiants instead of a live flame. It is a simple, cheap and effective way of heating a room.

Non Chimney Fires

These are designed for homes that do not have a chimney. Balanced flue fires and fan flued fires can be used against a suitable outside wall and side flue outlet fires can be used on a suitable inside wall where the discrete flue pipe runs alongside the skirting board to an outside wall. An electric supply may be needed for some models. Some even use catalytic converters so no flue is needed at all.

Stoves

These are designed to fit into inglenooks. Flues can be from either top or rear.

Wall Heaters

These are designed for installation on a suitable outside wall.

Electric Fires

If gas fires are not an option because of supply or fluing problems then an electric fire may be the solution. These, too, can be stylish and effective and quickly heat a room. Simply plug into an available socket and the job is done.
