Instead of requiring an exterior or interior chimney which has to be run through the entire house and out the roof, a gas fireplace uses a direct vent. Direct vent fireplaces have an opening on the exterior wall which allows for air to be drawn in, while at the same time provides an exhaust outlet for harmful gases given off when the fireplace is being ran. This direct vent feature allows you to place gas fireplaces throughout your entire home in just about any room.

Gas Fireplaces Can Be Used to Convert From Wood Burning Fireplaces

When you use gas fireplaces, like those available here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, to convert existing wood burning fireplaces, you may need to install a special chimney to allow for the exhaust of gases and proper intake of fresh air. Another option is to seal the existing chimney opening on the roof and above the existing fireplace and convert it to a direct vent instead.

There is nothing worse than the concerns of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide buildup in your home. With Duravent's line of venting products you can be assured those gases go right up and out of your home. Piping with twist-lock assembly, no need for sealants or gaskets and even laser-welded seams are just some of the advantages of choosing Duravent for your direct ventilation needs.

There is No Reason to Sacrifice Aesthetics with Duravent

Just because you are venting gases from your home is no reason to have to sacrifice looks for functionality not when you can have both. Duravent direct vent piping comes in three different finishes and offers a seamless design that easily fades into any background. While g alvanized steel and aluminum are sure to catch the eye, a black finish ventilation pipe also offers you the ability to have a lessened visual effect. You can see all three just by visiting www.woodstoves-fireplaces.com today and searching for Duravent.

Venting a gas fireplace and other types of gas appliances requires different types of Duravent accessories in order to provide sufficient ventilation. You will need a vent for each gas appliance in operation in your home. You will need one vent for a gas water heater, another for a gas furnace, and still another for a gas fireplace. While combining ventilation, like for your hot water heater and furnace may be possible, you should check with the manufacturers before installing a shared ventilation system.

Both Rigid and Flexible Duravent Pipe Is Available

You will find both rigid and flexible Duravent pipe available for venting your gas appliances. Flexible pipe works better when you have corners and angles you need to work around, or need to cover a long distance. Rigid pipe is better suited when you have straight venting requirements or do not need to cover a long distance. You can find both types of pipes as well as other accessories available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply.
