Freestanding & Outset Gas Fires
Freestanding and outset gas fires are designed to sit in front of a fireplace opening rather than being built into it. Positioned on the hearth, they allow more heat to be released directly into the room, making them a practical and efficient heating option.
They are a popular choice for traditional fireplaces, offering a classic appearance with straightforward installation and strong heat output.
What Is an Outset Gas Fire?
An outset gas fire sits forward of the fireplace opening, rather than being recessed inside it. This design helps maximise heat output into the room and creates a more prominent, traditional fire appearance.
Why Choose a Freestanding or Outset Gas Fire?
- High heat output – more heat is directed into the room
- No inset installation – sits on the hearth, not inside the opening
- Traditional styling – suits classic fireplace setups
- Practical controls – many models feature top or remote controls for ease of use

What to Consider
