The fi replace evaluation. Gas, wood or electric? An overview by Niall Deiraniya, general manager of DRU Fires UK
DRU Maestro 75XTU Tall gas fi re
DRU Virtuo Evolve 130 electric fi re
A
utumn is a time of crisp, cool days and longer nights. There is no better feeling than returning from a vigorous walk and relaxing next to a warm fi re. Do you choose a gas fi re, a wood burning stove or an electric fi re? Will you convert your existing chimney or select a fi re that requires no chimney? Let’s consider the options.
Gas fi res Gas heating will be here for the foreseeable
future. It provides real fl ames, comfortable heating and high energy effi ciency. DRU has a range of gas fi res that can be installed with or without a chimney, are suitable for modern or traditional homes and offer superior design and performance. A good example is the DRU Maestro
75XTU Tall model, with its 1.3-metre- high, 3-sided window. Not just a fi re but an architectural feature that will make a dramatic statement in your home.
Wood burning fi res and stoves Wood stoves are a sustainable heating option, with beautiful fl ames and generous heat. DRU produces them under its Dik Geurts
brand. They include the Ivar, which fi ts UK chimneys and designer stoves like the Oval, for rural retreats or urban lofts.
The range also includes built-in models, including 2-sided, 3-sided and see-through tunnel fi res.
Electric fi res Today’s electric fi res have evolved from functional appliances to models with impressive design and performance. Consumers are turning to electric for its low carbon footprint and compatibility with media walls, which also accommodate gas fi res and wood stoves. DRU Virtuo Evolve electric fi res feature realistic fl ame images, authentic logs and glowing embers, all controlled by an app on your phone. There are no fl ue connections and they can be used for heating or purely as decorative fi res. To choose the ideal fi replace for your
project, visit a DRU dealer. They have a wide selection, in all fuel types, on live display. They will advise you on the best option and offer full design and installation services.
