Creating a Warm Lpg Gas Welcome

By Paul Ravnbo-West, director of marketing & design, Focal Point Fires

Gazco has put a huge amount of research and development into its lpg fires and is able to offer the same features, efficiencies and heat outputs as its natural gas products.

Gazco has been a market leader in the heating industry for over 30 years and is dedicated to providing a high quality range of stoves, fireplaces and associated accessories. Its commitment to ongoing product development and reputation for superior craftsmanship, designer-led aesthetics and technical innovation has established it as one of the most successful and respected manufacturers in Europe.

Today, Gazco has the widest range of gas fires and stoves in the UK, which includes a vast range of shapes, styles and sizes from traditional to contemporary, built in or freestanding, and everything in between.

Most Gazco fires and stoves are available for lpg as well as natural gas. Gazco invests a great deal of time and money on research and development in order to make sure the lp gas versions of its appliances burn with the same high efficiencies as its natural gas appliances, and burn as cleanly as possible.

For example, the glass fronted Gazco E-Box is available with efficiencies of up to 86 per cent with lpg gas when fitted with a balanced flue. It offers a contemporary feel, with either highly realistic coals or pebble fuel effects, and will fit into standard 410 x 560 x 250mm fireplace openings. At 3.8kW heat output, Gazco E Box needs no additional room ventilation and the combination of its virtually invisible glass front, heat reflective lining and radiant heating convection system delivers the most heat to room.

A range of freestanding gas stoves are also available as lpg and offer everything from the traditional cast iron looks of the Stockton to the ultra contemporary Gas Riva Vision and everything in between.

However, for those who are looking for something more traditional, Gazco’s Classic Fireplaces are also available for lp gas. From the gracefulness of the early 1800s to the exuberance of Art Nouveau, these cast iron fireplaces add warmth and elegance to any room or living space.

The very latest convector fireplaces offer heating that is twice as efficient as an open fire, and a range of flue options mean that a chimney is not always required. This offers the retailer and installer the option to either take on a job restoring a period house to its former glory, or to create an authentic look for a modern home.

As with all of Gazco’s natural gas appliances, the lpg gas versions have also been designed with the installer in mind and are quick and easy to install. Self-contained fireboxes are a joy to work with, as many of them have been designed specifically for standard openings. A vast array of fronts, frets, frames and surrounds are also available, which gives a wide range of aesthetic options for homeowners wanting to ‘get the look’, and gives the heating retailer scope for quoting on a wider range of property styles and types.

Gazco’s lpg products also have the same remote controls as are available with their natural gas products, and give homeowners the same controllability of everything from ignition to flame height from the comfort of their armchairs. For glass fronted Gazco Studio fires, the Programmable Sequential Remote offers a timer and thermostatic controls, which ensure a warm welcome home on a cold evening.

In addition, flat touch panels are available with our Studio models, which can be wall mounted up to 2,500mm away from the appliance, allowing control over ignition, extinguish and flame height should the remote control be lost.

As Gazco has put a huge amount of research and development into its lp gas fires, it is able to offer the same features, efficiencies and heat outputs as are available for its natural gas products, making Gazco unique amongst heating manufacturers. This is great news for heating retailers, installers and homeowners alike, as Gazco now has the UK’s widest range of lpg gas fires. This means that there is a Gazco lpg fire suitable to create a warm welcome in just about any style or size of property.
