| It`s important to get the right fire for your home. Our Buying Guide will take you through some factors to consider when making your selection including type of fuel, controls, radiant or convector, chimney or no chimney. |
 | |
|  Natural Gas | | | | | |  Electric |
| Either Natural Gas or Electric. Natural Gas does have an alternative if you live in an area where there is no Natural Gas supply, you can power your fire by way of LPG. For more information on LPG fires please Contact Us here |

|  Manual | |  | | | | |  Remote |
| | | Slide | |
| The Control systems available are: Manual Control, allows you to control the fire by using a rotary control often hidden away behind a removable cover. Slide Control,usually located on the top side of the fire, allows the control of the fire, without having to bend down, And Remote Control, allows control of the fire from the comfort of the armchair. |
 | |
| A radiant fire eminates heat from the combustion chamber only, and incorporates a glowing back panel to maximise heat output.
A Convector fire has the added benefit of a heat exchanger attached to the back of the fire. This draws cold air in and sends it back into the room as hot air, maximising heat output whilst keeping fuel bills lower. |
 | |
| Your choice of fire will be dictated by the type of chimney or flue you have. If you`re not sure, then take a look at your roof and cross-reference it with our guide below.
It is also worth noting that a slimline fire will fit virtually any chimney or flue, whereas a full-depth often requires a traditional chimney or rebate on the fire surround. |
|  Brick Chimney | | | | A conventional brick chimney is easily recognisable by a chimney stack with accompanying terracotta pot or gas terminal. |
|  Pre-Fabracated | | | | This is an interlocking metal flue tube system easily identifiable by a metal flue and terminal on the roof and a metal flue box behind the fire. |
|  Pre-Cast | | | | Built from concrete or clay blocks, pre-cast flues provide a rectangular section flue. They can be identified by a ridge vent or metal tube and terminal on the roof. |
 | |
| Some properties have no chimney or flue, in which case a balanced flue or powerflue is required. |
| | | | | | | Balanced Flue fires vent directly outside through a horizontal co-axial pipe (one pipe within a larger pipe). The outer pipe draws air in from the outside and the inner pipe expels combustion gases. |
|  Balanced Flue | | | |
|  Power Flue | | | Powerflue fires expel the flue gases directly outside the building through the use of an electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall. A sophisticated microprocessor monitors performance and automatically shuts off the fire in the unlikely event of operation failure. |

| To ensure that your fire will fit into your home, every fire in our shop has a diagram illustrating approximate dimensions. Individual model dimensions are detailed on the product specification pages.
The dimensions stated on the diagrams are intended as a guide only. For the exact dimensions, please consult the latest issue of the manufacturer`s installation instructions. |
