Gas fires - our pick of the best
Looking for a new gas fire? From traditional brass with coal effect to a modern black design with logs, we’ve picked a selection of our favourite gas fires.
Looking for ways to make your home feel cosy? A warming fire is a great place to start. If you want the allure of a fire without having to stock pile firewood, consider a gas fire, where roaring flames are available at the flick of a switch. And, with so many models not requiring a chimney or flue, the style of your property does not have to restrict you. You don't need to have a period property to have a roaring fire - a wall-mounted flueless design can create the same ambient focal point in a contemporary new-build. Bear in mind that flueless fires are designed to enhance central heating and should be used as a secondary source of heat and always consult a Gas Safe Registered Engineer when planning a gas fire installation. Browse our selection of the latest models to help cosy-up your home.
