Operating gas fireplaces is slightly different from using wood burning fireplaces. Unlike wood burning, there is normally no flue which you need to open prior to starting a fire. Gas units often use self-contained direct vents which draw air from the outside while exchanging harmful gases not burned in the fire. The direct vent is often hidden on the back side of the fireplace out of normal view.

Gas Fireplaces Can Be Installed In Any Unused Corner

There are different sizes of gas fireplaces available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, to fit into all different living spaces of your home. Unused corners make a great location for adding a gas fireplace when you want to avoid using wall space where you already have your television or furniture. A corner fireplace unit only requires the use of a direct vent on one side of the exterior wall while the other side can be an interior wall.
