From sunrise to sunset

To complement the clean-lined, contemporary design of the house, the owners specified a glass-fronted gas fireplace with a sleek metallic silver surround. The IB850 Escea fireplace, distributed locally by McLellans Plumbing, also fitted with the owners' desire for energy efficiency.

Escea manager Nigel Bamford says glass-fronted gas fireplaces provide the best of both worlds an attractive fire with flickering flames, and a highly efficient form of heating.

Bamford says the crisp look of this fireplace reflects an increasing trend for simply styled units.

"Highly decorative features are unnecessary in a modern home," he says. "At the same time, however, homeowners don't want to be faced with a bland black box when the fire isn't on. The Escea designers have created a fireplace that looks attractive, whether on or off."

Escea gas fires incorporate smart technology to allow homeowners to control their fire from a mobile phone, or via the internet. This means you can switch on the fire before you leave work, ensuring you arrive home to a warm house.
