NB Series - See-through
Luxe finishes, seamless joins and an expansive window, combining high performance heat with a sleek and sophisticated look.

Inbuilt Gas Fireplace with No-Duct Heat System
Formerly KS55 Mesh Barrier Gas Fireplace.
With luxe finishes, seamless joins and expansive window, the Escea NB55 See-through Gas Fireplace combines high performance heat with a sleek and sophisticated look.
What sets this fireplace apart is its innovative heat technology which directs all warmth directly out the front – no ducting required, and no unsightly grills. This not only simplifies installation but ensures a clean, minimalist aesthetic around the fire. For added safety, the room-sealed glass windows are finished with a subtle mesh screen barrier.
Thanks to its true Zero Clearance rating and flexible venting options, you have a wider range of surround materials to choose from, and more installation possibilities throughout your home.
Double sided, this fire creates a flame-framed window – visually connecting two spaces.
Also available in a Single Sided model.

Complete Design Freedom
The NB55 Gas Fireplace gives you the freedom to put your fireplace anywhere in the home, with a wider range of surrounds to choose from. From positioning the TV right above the fireplace, to directly under windows, or built into bespoke cabinetry – the only limit is your imagination.
