Technical Expertise for Service Technicians

All Escea indoor gas fireplaces are Powered Direct Vent, fully glass-fronted and room-sealed, and have a Zero Clearance rating for maximum design and installation flexibility.

‍

Escea offers three main installation types. Insert fireplaces (DF Series) slot into an existing cavity or chimney, making them ideal for retrofits. Inbuilt fireplaces (DS Series, DN Series) are designed to be built into new framing for renovations or new builds. Freestanding fireplaces (DFS Series) are perfect for replacing older freestanding units or creating a statement feature.

‍

Across these, Escea also offers a wide range of styles — including single sided, double sided, corner, peninsula, freestanding, classic and linear designs — ensuring there’s a model to suit every home and style.

Yes. Modern gas fireplaces — especially Escea’s Powered Direct Vent models — deliver consistent, powerful warmth. Depending on the model, heat output ranges from approximately 5.2 kW up to around 9.7 kW for the larger gas models.

As a general guide, 1kW of heat output will warm approximately 12m² of floor area. To estimate what you need, calculate the floor area of your room (length × width), then divide the total floor area by 12. This will give you a minimum heat output requirement in kW.
‍

This guide assumes standard 2.4m ceilings, double glazing, and good insulation. There are many other variables that can affect heating performance, including your climate, window coverings, floor coverings, and whether the space is open plan or enclosed.

Start by working out how much heat output your space needs. As a general guide, 1 kW of heat output will warm approximately 12m² of floor area. To estimate what you need, calculate the floor area of your room (length × width), then divide the total floor area by 12. This will give you a minimum heat output requirement in kW.

‍

Consider whether the fireplace will be your primary or secondary heat source, as well as the size of the space — larger or open-plan areas will typically require higher heat output.
 
‍

From there, the size and style of the fireplace comes down to your design preferences, what's possible in your space, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.

Modern Direct Vent room-sealed gas fireplaces, like Escea’s, are one of the safest types of gas fireplaces you can install in your home.

‍

These fireplaces are completely sealed to the room – the air used for combustion comes from outside, and all fumes are expelled back outside too. This means no exhaust gases enter your home, making them safer for your health, and more efficient than open-front gas fireplaces.

‍

Like any heating appliance, the glass can get hot to touch while the fire is operating. For added peace of mind, Escea offers optional mesh screens on many gas models to help protect little hands and paws. Every Escea gas fireplace is built with an airtight steel firebox, tested multiple times during manufacturing, run on high before shipping, and includes a thermostat to prevent overheating.
