A balanced flue is a double walled. Fresh air comes in one direction from outside and the combustion air from burning the gas is drawn back outside. Depending on the fire, you can often put the flue straight out the back and terminate on an external wall so there is no need to have a chimney going up through or outside your property. Conventional flue uses an existing chimney to make the gas fire or stove work. The chimney will often need to be lined with a gas stainless steel flexible liner.

We aim to inform customers about our range of stoves and fires, you are encouraged to come to the showroom before buying, to get a hands-on feel of the product and fully discuss your requirements. This means that you choose the right stove to meet the specific needs of you and your home. We understand that price is an important factor when choosing a stove; however, most products come with various options, which you may not realise if you purchase online. With this in mind, we follow our ‘suppliers’ recommended retail prices and price competitively. We deliver stoves for the recommended retail price (covering most of the UK) or offer a 10% discount on stoves and fires if the product is collected.

A painted stove can be brushed off with a natural bristle brush or wiped with a dry natural cloth (synthetic materials will melt if your stove is still hot). If your stove becomes faded or rusty, go over it with a light scourer and repaint or polish. An enamelled stove should be wiped with a dry cloth, if you need to get a mark off you can use a damp cloth or enamel cleaner.

Wood burning is a sustainable, renewable and carbon-neutral way of heating your home, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and non-renewable energy sources. electric • A fire encourages feelings of warmth and safety, studies have shown that it can boost our mood, give us feelings of wellbeing and helps us to relax. • A stove can be a great addition alongside your current home heating when the weather is particularly cold or when it is not cold enough to turn on central heating, but you want part of your room warmer. • If there is interruption to your electric or gas supply it will provide you with light, heat and a way to heat water and food. • Having a stove and chimney means the air in the room is changed more frequently therefore removing stale air and pollutants.
