FEELING FIRE
palm tree – I
As the days grow colder, many of us will be reviewing our homes for cosiness and comfort. The addition of a stylish new fireplace can be transformative, bringing a level of soothing warmth that may have previously been lacking as well as changing the function and feel of core spaces.
When it comes to choosing a fireplace, thinking about your day-to-day lifestyle will help narrow down the options. Do you have the time to chop and stack wood? Or would you prefer something more low maintenance? Do you love the romance of wood? Or are you drawn to the convenience of a gas fireplace?
The team at Simply Heat are industry experts at guiding you through the process of selecting and installing a fireplace that’s just right for you.
Based in Sydenham, Christchurch, the Simply Heat showroom boasts a comprehensive range of heating solutions. Dedicated staff are on hand to discuss your priorities, whether those be optimal heat output, best value, or design flexibility.
FEELING FIRE
A HOME ESSENTIAL FOR THE COMING WINTER SEASON IS BEAUTIFUL WARMTH. SIMPLY HEAT AND ESCEA SHARE THEIR LATEST TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT FIREPLACE FOR YOUR HOME OR RENOVATION.
Escea DS1150 Double Sided Gas Fireplace
If low-maintenance, ease and style is top of your list, Simply Heat’s extensive range of Escea indoor gas fireplaces is well worth exploring as an all-round standout performer in home heating.
Designed and handcrafted in Dunedin, Escea indoor gas fireplaces are finished to a world-class standard with a touch of Kiwi ingenuity. Fireplaces in this range offer impressive heat output and five-star efficiency without any compromise on looks.
For a modern new build or renovation, Escea’s DS Series of frameless, linear gas fireplaces are ideal. Truly frameless, the DS Series is Escea’s minimalist muse yet delivers exceptional functionality. Available in a range of sizes spanning up to nearly two metres in length, these fireplaces can be supplied single-sided or double for a flameframed window into the next room.
The popular DS1150, the smallest in the series, can be readily integrated into bespoke cabinetry and, thanks to Escea’s Zero Clearance surround rating, it can take its place in your home without limitation.
Escea DS1150 Single Sided Gas Fireplace
Don’t let its modest size stop you. This plucky performer pumps out 8.5 kilowatts of heat and, with minimalised detail and maximised flame viewing, offers some of the best-looking heat on the market.
From a design perspective, Escea DS Series fireplaces really open the horizons. The Zero Clearance rating means you can select almost any material for the surround, from timber to wallpaper.
If this series sounds like the right one for you, the good news is you don’t even need a traditional fireplace chimney. Flexible flues can run in any direction, including through walls or even under the floor. This innovative technology means you are free to imagine your fireplace anywhere in the room.
For renovators who are restoring old homes to their former glory, the Escea DF Series is renowned for its retrofit abilities and traditional style, and it comes in a range of sizes.
The DF960 is the chameleon of the Escea DF range. By bringing together old-world charm with the improved efficiency of a gas fireplace, it works just as well in modern new builds as in heritage villas. With a generous glass window, the DF960 makes for great flame viewing and, thanks to Escea’s flexible flue technology, can be installed where you want it.
Whether you’re building, renovating or making a contemporary update to your living room, Simply Heat is where you’ll find inspiration and the expertise needed to select beautiful warmth this winter.
