Flueless LPG gas fires

[llywelyn111]

Hello,

I'm after some advise . I live in a converted 1880 church in North Wales, it has no mains gas supply.

The house is built inside the church walls so there is a partition which is 200mm away from the church stone wall. The church stone wall is then 800mm thick.

There is free air moving in the partitions from the attic. When you take a socket face off the partition wall you can feel the air.

Would I still need a vent going from my living room to the outside? Or can I just vent from the plaster board (vent in the plasterboard only) then just use the air in the partitions?

Regards
David

No, got to vent to outside.

You also need to fit a carbon monoxide detector with a flueless fire.

Gutted. Well looks like I'll have to wire a electric fire suit in then.

you will get more heat out of it than a flueless gas fire, nice to look at but absolutely no use if its cold.

I just don't fancy getting a hole out for a flue or vent. The stones are granite too,

I just can't find a balanced flue lpg fire that has a 1000mm flue

You must have a core vent, I fitted a flueless fire the other day, the second one Ive ever fitted, I hate them,death traps.... also there was more heat lost out of the huge 100cm2 hole Id just drilled than the fire could produce.

Ok

so would you suggest a balanced flue? But I can't find one with a 1000mm flue

there is a NG balanced flue gas fire which uses 2 x 5" tube which come out of the rear of the fire, 1 air, 1 flue gases, these can be 1metre in length, just can't remember the name of the fire, but I know it was'nt cheap

this is where we obtained the balanced flue gas fire from, I know its in manchester but if you give them a ring they should be able to put you in touch with the Manufacturers , the Fireplace Warehouse 0161 431-8075
