High efficiency gas fires

[wetdrip]

Thanks for the link - need only 2kw (small rooms) according to that but want MORE !!

Sorry :thinking:

The good news is I've just installed a 2kw radiator so should be warm this winter (bloody cold when I moved in Feb) with any fire but I fancy one of those inset jobs just hanging in the wall and no fireplace[/QUOTE

A few mates have wall hangers and they reckon you'd be as well to hang a picture of one than the real thing...poor heat output, so they say.

You could try a flueless version of this...perhaps

I have fitted the convector ultra he ( glass fronted fire ) and the heat from them is genuinely quite remarkable. My cust has one in a living room 6m x 3m and says he's v happy with the heat from the fire

Thanks both

As aid, I am staying away from flueless - pointless anyway as I have a fully functional (hopefully) chimney

I have read that the glass fronted fires radiate better so perhaps that's the difference between experiences ?

Back in a bit, gonna install firefox as this site acts a bit weird in IE

Sites fine....

Just the people who frequent here are tapped

Baxi Bahamas! You will probably need the chimney lining with kopex.

Installed firefox to see if I could upload some damn pictures but can't do it in that either

I've twertled around a bit on the pooter so we'll see ....

A Baxi Bahama seems to be a boiler :confused5: - I know we've strayed from the original post a bit but come on

Just been looking at fires - this one looks like the chicken's on fire - Crystal Sunrise Petite Hole in the Wall Gas Fire - Fireplaces Are Us

Ok, here's a picture at last



What I want to do is take out the dodgy brick work below the lintel and build it back up again but leave a suitable opening for one of these hole in the wall fires - actual fire is proving difficult to find but they all need a hole right ?

You can hopefully see the existing liner which drops down to the existing opening behind the quality bit of regulation hardboard

Plumber dude coming to sort my tap is supposed to be gsr so I will be getting him to do something with the gas pipe (hopefully)

Hope that helps explain things

Ok, fires has been decided - it's gonna be one of these VERINE VERTEX SLIMLINE HOLE IN THE WALL GAS FIRE - GAS FIRES - Fires2u.com so any opinions/advice etc would be most welcome before the cash is splashed

And look what I found in my car after innocently walking out of a national tool vendor

I'd be somewhat careful knocking all that out, b all holding up that lintel in the first place, which is then supporting several tons of chimney above, one of the reasons for using a decent builder to do this sort of work
