<Paragraph><Strong>Vent Free</Strong></Paragraph>
<Paragraph>Older Vent free or Unflued fireplace designs release all the combustion gases into your home.</Paragraph>
<Break />
<Paragraph><Strong>Open Fronted</Strong></Paragraph>
<Paragraph>Open fronted fires have a flue, but most of the heat escapes up the flue, and combustion gases may still emit into your home.</Paragraph>
<Break />
<Paragraph><Strong>Basic Vent Flue</Strong></Paragraph>
<Paragraph>When Basic Vent Flue fireplaces came along, they offered more efficiency with a glass front, however they use oxygen from the room for combustion and may allow combustion gases to enter your home if not set up correctly.</Paragraph>
<Break />
<Paragraph><Strong>Direct Vent Flue and Powered Direct Vent Flue</Strong></Paragraph>
<Paragraph>Direct Vent and Powered Direct Vent Flue gas fireplaces are also glass fronted, but more importantly, they are room sealed. </Paragraph>
<Break />
<Paragraph>The room air and the firebox air are kept completely separate as combustion air is brought in via the two vents (one going up and the other going down).</Paragraph>
<Break />
<Paragraph>Powered Direct Vent Flue has the added benefit of a motorised fan directing the air-flow, so you can easily flue in any direction.</Paragraph>
<Break />
<Paragraph><Strong>All Escea indoor gas fireplaces use Powered Direct Vent Flues, making them the most efficient and safest gas heater option for your home. </Strong></Paragraph>
