the colder months. This house has two indoor
fires and another one outdoors – all supplied by
fireplace specialist Escea.
The gas fires make an aesthetic statement
and provide an even warmth at a finger touch,

heat is distributed evenly throughout the house.
“In the living room, the Escea DL1100 gas
fireplace has a schist surround and a strong,
simple aesthetic in keeping with the home. This
model offers high performance, 5 Star efficiency
and new-generation control technology.”
Open-air dining is a year-round option for
this home, too, as the EF5000 outdoor unit from
Escea serves the outdoor dining area.
“This attractive push-button fire is made
from all-weather stainless steel. Its flueless
design ensures the flames are on full view and
that it is easy and inexpensive to install.”
