Gas Fireplace Ideas

Direct vent gas fires

Use these modern fireplaces Direct vent logs for burning. Although synthetic, they burn like real logs and produce smoke (Carbon monoxide), which must be handled in two ways:

• It must be removed from the fireplace compartment. For a coaxial (2-ply) exhaust pipe is attached to the back of the fireplace housing. Its other end is connected to a vent. The coaxial tube works this way – its outer layer lets in fresh air to allow combustion, while the inner layer releases the exhaust air into the atmosphere.

• Prevent the exhaust air from spreading in the room. The manufacturers offer a High temperature front glass pane That needs to stay closed or just slightly open while the logs burn.

The directly ventilated trunks burn like natural wood. And the contemporary designs control the exhaust process quite efficiently. Therefore, If you want the ambience of an authentic, almost real fireplace, choose this type. On the other hand, they generate less heat than the models without ventilation, as the smoke generated during the combustion process “eats up” some heat.

You want this model if:

• You have young children and / or pets. The front pane of glass prevents direct contact with the combustion chamber.

• Plus of course Fuel efficiency. Contemporary design intelligently saves energy.

they use Firewood that does not produce carbon monoxide when burned. They also produce more heat than, and therefore are, the direct ventilation models more energy efficient. Since vent-free models do not have a face seal, they have transfer 99.99% of the generated heat into the room.

However, these fire logs produce carbon dioxide and moisture (water vapor) as by-products. As a result, you can’t or you will use a ventless fireplace for very long start to feel damp and stuffy. Indoor moisture can also cause mold, mildew, and other bacteria. You have to keep a window open to let the by-products out. This also leads to some heat loss.

• They are affordable. Compared to direct exhaust models (starting at $ 2,000), they’re over 50% cheaper ($ 600-1,000).

• they deliver clean heatingwithout releasing microparticles of dust, soot or ash into the room air.

• you are more energy efficient than the direct exhaust models

• Modern designs are every bit of a work of art! No less tempting than their direct vent cousins.

These are versatile designs that will adapt to many types of decors. Traditional solid wood or avant-garde light furniture, lots of green indoors or more wall art, soft, concealed lighting or glowing chandeliers – there is a tailor-made design for a ventless gas fireplace for all decors.
