If you don’t have access to a chimney and don’t want to build one, don’t worry. Our great range of balanced flue and power flue gas fires mean you can still enjoy the warmth of a real gas fire. Although both power flue and balanced flue gas fires are a brilliant alternative when a traditional fireplace isn’t available, it’s useful to remember that they work in different ways.
Power Flue Gas Fires - These have a flue that is powered by a fan. This sucks the fumes out of the fire and removes them via a rear vent.
Balanced Flue Gas Fires - These are glass fronted and bring clean air in and expel fumes through a double walled pipe that runs horizontally through the wall.
Our range of both balanced flue and power flue gas fires comes from the industry’s leading brands including Flavel, Verine and more - brands that pride themselves in quality. This, combined with our brilliant prices and flexible payment options, makes Direct Fireplaces a great place to shop.
