Fireplace, anyplace

Five unconventional places to install a gas fireplace, thanks to Escea’s Flexible Flue technology.

Gas fire technology is continually evolving, knocking down the boundaries of conventional design and constantly exceeding our expectations. Escea’s Flexible Flue technology is an architect and interior designer’s best friend – allowing them to put a fireplace virtually anywhere.

Escea’s Direct Vent powered flues can be run in any direction, including through walls and under the floor! This is thanks to a powered direct vent system, which is essentially a fan that pushes air in whatever direct you want which allows for absolute design freedom when it comes to fireplace placement. This, plus the fact that Escea can flue up to 40m is what allows for unique, unconventional, and unexpected fireplace installations – and at Home Heating Kerikeri, we’ve seen some great ones.

In the middle of the room That’s right, you can put a fireplace smack bang in the middle of your living room. Escea’s range of double-sided gas fireplaces create stunning room dividers, designating two spaces while connecting them with flame.

The ability to run the flue downward, and underneath the floor allows you to think outside the walls when it comes to your fireplace design, because who needs them?

Under bench The kitchen is widely thought of as the heart of the home. It’s where we convene in the morning over a cup of tea and toast, and share stories of our day whilst we prepare dinner in the evening. You might think there’s not a lot of room in the kitchen for a fireplace, but have you imagined one under your kitchen island bench?

This unexpected design is again made possible by running Escea’s flexible flues underneath the floor. Of course, there are tips and tricks with pulling together these kinds of installs, so just make sure you speak to us first and refer to Escea’s comprehensive style guides for complicated installs

Under window A fireplace under the window makes a serious impact – giving you two views at the same time. Particularly magic in winter, you can watch the hoar frost, or the rain fall outside at the same time as you take in the mesmerising flames from the comfort of your warm, cosy living room.

To pull off this unique install, the flue would be run horizontally under the window, exiting the home through the exterior wall. Integrated into bespoke cabinetry The integration of flame into bookcases and shelving is becoming increasingly popular amongst architects and designers – not only is it a clever and conservative use of space, it’s an engaging feature that brings dimension to the room. This is where Escea’s Flexible Flue shines again, fluing in any direction to avoid any structural obstacles. Bedroom right above? No problem, you can run the flue horizontally and out the side of the wall.

Want to include a TV? Great! Escea has the lowest TV clearance on the market.

Inside-Out Finally, with the Escea DX Series you can have a double-sided fire that connects inside and out –creating a flame-framed window to the outdoors (or indoors). With two sides of flame viewing, this fire can transform the courtyard and the living room at the same time– a two-for-one deal you might say.

The possibilities are endless and the limitations are few – Escea’s technology gives you the edge to forget what you knew about fireplace design and imagine your fireplace, anyplace.
