Direct venting of gas fires
Take advantage of these modern fireplaces Direct venting of logs for burning. Even though they’re synthetic, they burn like real logs and produce smoke (Carbon Monoxide) which needs to be managed in two ways:
-
It must be removed from the fireplace room. For a coaxial (2-layer) exhaust pipe attached to the back of the chimney casing. Its other end is connected to a vent. This is how the coaxial tube works: 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 panel This must remain closed or only slightly open while the logs are burning.
The directly ventilated logs burn like natural wood. And the modern designs control the exhaust process quite efficiently. For this reason, 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, since the smoke produced during the combustion process “eats” part of the heat.
You want this model if:
-
You have small children and/or pets. The front glass panel prevents direct contact with the combustion chamber.
-
You are remodeling your house. Coaxial pipe venting allows you to prevent large-scale masonry that can damage the fabric of the home. This is from special importance for apartments with common walls.
-

-
Lovable designs and fire effects, one ethereal ambience that is not only warm but also heartwarming.
-
Plus of course fuel efficiency. Contemporary design intelligently saves energy.
Ventless gas fireplaces
they use Firewood that does not produce carbon monoxide when burned. They also produce more heat than direct-vent models, so they are more energy efficient. Because ventless models do not have a face seal, they do transfer 99.99% of the generated heat into the room.
However, these logs fire produce carbon dioxide and moisture (water vapor) as by-products. As a result, you cannot use an unvented fireplace, or only for a very long time begin to feel damp and stuffy. Indoor humidity can also cause mold, mildew, and other bacteria. You must keep a window open to let the byproducts out. This also leads to some heat loss.
Vent free gas fireplaces are popular because:
-
They are affordable. Compared to direct exhaust models (starting at $2,000), they’re over 50% cheaper ($600-1,000).
-
they deliver clean heaterwithout releasing microparticles of dust, soot or ash into the room air.
-
you are more energy efficient than the models with direct exhaust
-
Modern designs are every bit a work of art! No less enticing than their direct cousins.
