heating, plumbing and ventilation Retro heating
Launched in 2007, Smeg’s stunning ‘retro-style’ flueless fires continue to grow in popularity. Offering a choice of products which combine stylish aesthetics with innovative technology, the flueless fire range includes models which coordinate perfectly with other Smeg products in the Linea and Classic built-in appliance ranges, ensuring a seamless look for open plan living where the kitchen flows into the dining or
living area. To allow consumers to change the look of their fire according to the season or occasion, the fire frames can be easily interchanged with one of seven colours to compliment mood or style changes. The fires fit flush to the wall without the need for a chimney to give instant heat and are suitable for use with either natural or LPG gas. For further information telephone 0844 557 9907 or visit
