When you are shopping for a new fireplace for your home, you will be presented with many different types and styles. One type available is a direct vent fireplace which uses natural or propane gas to create heat and flames. This type of fireplace is ideal for homes which have a limited amount of interior space where a wood burning fireplace would not fit. Instead of requiring and extensive chimney system, gas fireplaces use a direct vent along an exterior wall of your home.

A Direct Vent Fireplace Uses a Single Vent to Draw Air in and for Exhaust

Unlike a traditional wood burning fireplace which uses a chimney, a direct vent fireplace uses this vent system instead. A single vent (pipe within a pipe) draws air into the fireplace as well as removes the harmful fumes given off by a gas fire. You will find a selection of energy efficient gas fireplaces with direct vents, for you home when you visit us here at Copperfield Chimney Supply.
