<Paragraph>
Escea’s Direct Vent Technology draws air from outside the home to fuel the fire. This air then travels down the outer layer of the flue and into the fireplace. <Break /><Break />As the outside air travels down the flue, it is pre-heated by the exhaust air exiting the inner layer of the flue.

To heat the room, air from inside the home is drawn into the bottom of the fire, heated, then pushed back into the room – ensuring only warm air circulates in your home.

<Paragraph>Other wood fireplaces use air from the room which creates cold draughts and often requires external venting. With Escea Direct Vent Technology, no room air is used to fuel the fire which eliminates cold draughts, the need for external vents and will ultimately heat your home more efficiently.</Paragraph>
