Gas log fires – for a traditional look without the effort
Optima also supplies gas log fires to provide
a more traditional feel to your living area. Gas log fireplaces come in a wide range
of designs, from very traditional to modern, providing both aesthetic and space heating properties.
Modern gas log fireplaces use incombustible logs over vents burning natural gas. The particular benefits of gas log fires are:
- Lower emissions than traditional fires – Clean-burning natural gas is used in the place of more polluting coals and wood logs
- Provide radiant as well as convection heat
- Minimal work involved
Gas log fires provide all of the romance of a traditional fire without the work involved. You do not have to collect wood, light and monitor the fire, or clean up ashes afterwards. To warm a room using gas log fireplaces, you simply need to touch a button.
Gas log fireplaces for the home
An important feature of gas log fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney like traditional fireplaces. As natural gas is cleaner than traditional fuels, gas log fires produce fewer emissions, meaning that only a small flue tube is needed to vent fumes.
For existing home owners, this also means that installing gas log fireplaces is relatively cheap, as there is no need for major construction works by a stonemason.
Being a cleaner fuel, natural gas log fires can be relatively energy efficient as space heaters. Flued gas space heaters can adequately heat areas from 30 to 100 square metres, while unflued heaters can heat areas of up to approximately 70 square metres. Safety standards are set and monitored by SAI Global under AS 4558 (AG 108), which means that you can be assured of the safety of gas log fireplaces.
