Here is the ultimate marriage between traditional good looks and up-to-the-minute technology.

By making discreet alterations to two classic Victorian fireplaces, Stovax have preserved the timeless elegance of their designs yet, at the same time, allowed you to enjoy all the convenience, realism and efficiency of a New Generation  Gazco living flame convector fire. It is not surprising, therefore that these are amongst the most popular models.

Convector efficiency

Gazco’s high-efficiency convector system adds recycled warm air to the direct, radiated heat of the fire. Cool air is drawn in through the grate, heated in a convection chamber and diffused into the room through an unobtrusive slot above the fireplace hood. most importantly, however, this gives you a heating efficiency which is twice that of a traditional coal fire !

Even if you don't have a chimney there is still an excellent chance that you can install a Convector Fire in your home. By utilising the leading edge technology found in "The new Integral Powered Flue" or "The Gazco powered flue".

New from Gazco - a fire which has been specifically developed for new cavity walled properties with no chimney. It makes enjoying all the realism and comfort of a living flame fire easier than ever before.

The fire's employ a number of  technological advancements:

Firstly - The fire has been designed to use the gap in the cavity wall (including a special system to help retain the damp proofing properties of the cavity) thus saving space in your room. Secondly - it has been created as a complete, all-in-one 16" VFC Powered Flue Convector Fire with totally integrated electronics and safety features. So there is no need for either a chimney or a false chimney breast. All that is required is an outside cavity wall and to be able to position the fire so that the flue can go straight through.

The Gazco Integral Powered Flue Fire's extractor unit is neat, durable and weatherproof.

For properties without a Chimney or a suitable outside cavity wall,   you can still take advantage of a Gazco fire with the Gazco Powered Flue, which offers a neat and compact alternative to a conventional chimney.

All that is required is that the fire must be positioned within 10' (3 Metres) of an outside wall, with the flue outlet more than 1' (300mm) from a window.

The extractor unit is electrically mains powered and is operated by a simple wall-mounted switch. A red light on the switch panel indicates when the fan has reached operational speed, and it is safe to ignite the fire. As an additional safety feature, the fire will only burn whilst the fan is operating.

The flue is also acoustically dampened to minimise noise from the fan. The Gazco Powered Flue can be installed in conjunction with all VFC HE Convector Fires (when stud-work chimney breast, as shown, is built) and the Canopied Convector Fires.

The Gazco Powered Flue's extractor unit fits neatly to the outside wall of the house, and has a weatherproof , durable construction.

Added Convenience

For added convenience your VFC fire can be installed with either hand-held or wall-mounted remote control. In either case the control unit allows you to switch the fire on and off and to turn it up and down without having to end down or go anywhere near the fire.

Gazco VFC convector fires are manufactured to the stringent requirements of the new European safety standard EN509 and bear the CE mark.
