What Is a Direct Vent Fireplace?
There's nothing nicer than curling up next to a roaring fire in the middle a cold winter's night. If your home doesn't have a chimney or a proper area for a fireplace, a direct vent fireplace could be the answer. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Convenient
-
Direct vent fireplaces do not require a foundation or a chimney. They are made of prefabricated metal and vented directly out through the wall, meaning they can be placed just about anywhere.
-
Easy To Use
-
Instead of using wood logs, direct vent fireplaces are gas-powered. They can be controlled by a switch or remote control.
Clean
-
The gas in a direct vent fireplace decreases wood-smoke pollution. There is no ash or other particles to clean up afterward. They can also be made to look like traditional fireplaces, or they can look more modern.
Safe
-
A direct vent fireplace allows for zero clearance. This means furniture and other items can be placed directly to the sides of it without fear of them burning or catching fire.
Coaxial Piping
-
Direct vent fireplaces are made with a small pipe within a large pipe, called coaxial piping. This lets pollutants exit through the inner pipe while air combustion comes in through the outer.
