It used to be that when looking for a new fireplace your choice was limited to a fireplace surround with marble back panel and a hearth that would protrude into the room loosing valuable space. Current contemporary design trends dictate the need for a minimalistic look and most fireplace manufacturers have now realesed a range of fireplaces that can be wall mounted without the need for a hearth.
Most gas fires that are designed to be wall mounted require a class 1 chimney. This is a brick-built chimney breast usually found in older homes that would be deep enough to accommodate the appliance and also feature an adequate internal dimension to expel the gases produced by the fire.
Wall mounted or 'hole-in-the-wall' fireplaces are available in both open-fronted or glass-fronted versions. Glass fronted fires tend to have a higher heat output and be more efficient as the products of combustion take longer to exit the fire. Many offer a choice of fuel effect including pebbles, coals, logs or driftwood and have can be operated by remote control.
Hotprice.co.uk offer a enormous range of gas fires from leading manufacturers including Verine, Kinder, Gazco, Valor and many more. All fireplace designs are available in a choice of trims/finishes including steel, natural stone and glass.
Wall mounted electric fireplace suites are very popular and the latest flame effects offer ultimate realism virtually indistinguishable from a real fire. Electric fires usually incorporate a 2kW fan heater which are ideal to take the chill off the room. Popular models in this range include the Flamerite Corello 2 electric fire which is available in five finishes and two sizes. These fires can be wall mounted on any internal wall or do not require a chimney or flue.
Flueless Gas Fires are a fairly new addition in the fireplace industry. They use the very latest technology. The combustion gases produced by the fire pass through a catalytic converter within the appliance which converts the poisonous Carbon Monoxide into harmless Carbon Dioxide and water vapour. These gas fires require a 100cm2 air-vent fitted into the room to conform to current regulations. As none of the heat is lost up a chimney, these fires boasts 100% efficiency.
