History of Gas Fireplaces
The first gas fire is thought to have been created as early as 1895. It used the method of heating cast iron so that it would project heat throughout the room. This replaced the smoke and ash that were produced by wood-burning fires, which provided a cleaner and more efficient fireplace. However, they were more expensive than traditional fires.
As technology developed, gas fires became more affordable and they also were also able to produce realistic flames that looked like a real wood fire. This gives them an atmosphere of comfort and authenticity to enhance their appearance.
Styles of Gas Fires & Fireplaces
There are many different types of gas fires, so when you are installing one in your home it is worth taking the time to choose the option that is right for you. For example, you could choose balanced flue gas fires, which are modern gas appliances that are connected to the outside atmosphere via a concentric flue. They have higher than average energy efficiency ratings, compared to conventional flue gas fires. There are also flueless gas fires, which do not have a chimney or flue pipe required to use the fire.
Other types of gas fireplaces that we offer include high efficiency open fronted and glass-fronted gas fires, hole in the wall gas fires, inset gas fires, outset free standing gas fires, pre-cast flue gas fires, and power flue gas fires.
