The New Age Of Gas Fires:
Style And Sophistication For Modern Or
Traditional Homes
Innovations in gas fire technology mean
there have never been more options
available to the discerning self-builder or
renovator. Whether you’re looking to add
the latest gas fire to an existing chimney
breast, wish to fit one without a chimney
or perhaps even directly into a cavity
wall, the huge range of styles and designs
available have made it easier than ever
to find the right gas fire for your home.
Alex Sage, of Gazco, explores the
exciting options available.
Introducing either traditional or modern
aesthetics into your home, the new
generation of gas fires will cover
virtually any style option. The highly
realistic flame engineering, range of
frames and distinctive interior linings
combine to bring not just a centrepiece
to your living area but also a heart to
your home. But it’s not just about looks.
Matching style with substance, modern
gas fires are highly efficient, providing
a more eco-friendly, cost effective
option for heating your home than
older models. Increasing your options
further, you don’t even need a mainline
gas connection thanks to various LPG
versions available.
Ultra-realistic Gas Fires
The Reflex 75T from Gazco exhibits
the very latest engineering with its three
twin burners and LED Emberglow
technology. The Reflex’s burners are
concealed within the logs, which thanks
to advanced production techniques can
now be engineered to precisely replicate
the real thing, capturing al l their natural
beauty and detail. Further enhancing the
open-fire ambience, the crystal clear nonreflective glass provides an uninterrupted
view of the flames.
With a choice of elegant linings, the
Reflex can be tailored to give your home
a smart internal finish, in particular, the
highly reflective Black Glass lining.
Mirroring the realistic flames, the Black
Glass provides a deeper firebox visual
for a stunning finish.
Framing options offer another way to
personalise your fire choice. Many gas
fires have a choice of contemporary
styles to choose from, as well as
traditional mantel options, making it easy
to create your dream fireplace. Installed
into any existing standard 36” chimney
breast opening, the conventionally flued
50
Reflex 75T will provide the perfect finish
you’re looking for whether it’s a period
style or ultra-contemporary focal point.
Similarly, the Gazco Riva2 750HL
gas fire not only provides a beautiful,
realistic flame picture, but also offers
a wide choice of styling options. For
greater installation flexibility, the Riva2
750HL can be installed into existing
chimney breasts, or alternatively without
any chimney at all if a balance flue
version is selected.
To bring traditional framing options into
your home, both the Reflex 75T and
Riva2 750HL can be paired with a choice
of stone mantels, each available in either
Natural Limestone or Antique Marble, to
bring a classical twist to your fire.
These mantels work especially well in
a spacious living room or larger open
plan living spaces, with a selection of
styles evoking different periods. From
the Victorian Corbel to the Georgian
Roundel, adding a mantel will bring
an authentic finish into any renovation
project, beautifully blending the
traditional fireplace look with state of the
art gas fire technology.
