" Today's gas fireplaces are clean and efficient Ross Morrison from heat and -- is here to tell us more tell me a little bit about the design and the technology behind these. All right well this is actually a gas insert and all of our products -- meter for the most part are made as direct vent fireplaces indeed this is important for us in that -- safety and efficiency reasons. Direct vent means that it's -- sealed glass chamber. If you open up the front doors here -- of the panel of glass there who. What that means is that there's no interplay of room -- you're not going to bring any products of combustion into the room. And you're not to be using any of your already warm room air for combustion but does -- still need a chimney flue. It runs a flue -- in the case of an insert it's gonna go up an existing chimney with two co Linear flex vents okay I'm a standard fireplace it would be a coaxial vent it may have on the outside and a and a private enterprise thinking goes straight out the back street on wall you go up through the roof some of our -- vent down and then out if you needed to. All right so. In terms of it being used as a retrofit product though if you have. An old mantelpiece in an older house will this work absolutely yeah it's designed actually I'm mostly for a masonry fireplace. The beauty of this product as it's made from ceramic fiber rather than sheet metal. What the ceramic fiber allows us to do is not only give you that traditional brick look that you already have in your masonry fireplace easily get to keep the look. But the ceramic fiber is also great insulator and so rather than the heat escaping through layers of sheet metal. It's gonna push that heat back out into the Rome sir and safety is just not that much of an issue in terms of pets kids or sparks coming out into the room you -- going to write an extra layer of protective glass there yes and auto parts also can have a mesh screen as an option. Just make sure little hands don't want to get up to the plastic."

" We take real logs that we mold into view that's ceramic fiber log. So is really late waits on the beauty of the Senate -- again is that when the flame hits -- do you get a nice glow. On the -- so that's what I'm seeing on the bed here on the base right right it looks like embers but in fact it's just this. Exactly and it doesn't weigh much yes. The second break not at all you get a lifetime log there terrific. Let's look at some of the once you've got over here in the corner tolerate this is called our crescent and again we're using sort of flavor technology here. This gives that nice full curved brick look. And so again we're we're trying to emulate what a real masonry fireplace looks like not a sheet metal one he's so. You get the nice look inside and out and again. We have the ceramic fiber it's a great insulator. We have quite a few over fireplaces are actually rated as furnaces and this is sort of the creme de La creme of the line this is color 6000 TR XIA. Now the beauty of this is again it you'd have a view a beautiful look inside we have the the brick looks they get real masonry appearance. But this unit is also rated as a furnace. So again we have it's it's sealed combustion. You're not using any room air hurt her combustion but you're pumping a lot of heat into the -- raided. As a furnace absolutely for how big a -- how big -- place it depends on a hospital could be up to between twelve and 1500 square feet that it could heat. Some other opportunities for you though are both to sort of flame off within like. And then turn the flames down between the two you can drop dead heat value by over half. If it is still also getting too hot we have what we called comfort a climate control damper down below. Opening that damper will allow more heat to be dissipated through our venting system so again -- of a party going people get a little bit hot you want the ambience but you don't want to heat we have a number of ways to eliminate that problem -- the price tag rust. This unit runs -- about 2200 dollars through."
