Additional Information

Gazco's impressive choice of fires with a selection of fire fronts. The types of fire available with each frame and front are listed in the main brochure.

Command remote controls:

Gazco was the first UK company to introduce remote controls for gas fires. Today, our Command remote control systems allow most fires to be upgraded, either at the time of purchase or at a later date, with either:

Logic Fires (See pages 68-77 and 80-97)

Logic Hotbox

The 16” Logic Hotbox is suitable for all chimney types and has been designed to meet the requirements of today’s modern homes where central heating is the norm and only a precast flue has been supplied by the builder. It provides a superb focal point and ambience but without the additional heat emitted by a convector. You may choose coal or pebble fuel beds and there is the option of a Standard remote control.

Logic Convectors

The Logic 16” Convector is a highly efficient, all-new engine that is suitable for all chimney types. It differs from the Hotbox, however, by incorporating a convection system that provides virtually twice the heating efficiency, so there is even more heat going into your room. The Logic Convector is available with coal or pebble fuel beds, both offering an excellent look and realistic flames, and the option of a Standard remote control.

Logic IPF Convector

There is also an IPF (Integral Powered Flue) version of the Logic Convector for homes without a chimney. All you need is to be able to position the fire on an outside wall so that the flue can go straight through (as pictured right). It is available with coal fuel bed and supplied complete with Sequential remote control.

The Logic IPF has also been specially

developed for cavity wall properties and has been cleverly designed to use the gap in the wall to save space. You can either recess the fire into the inner skin of the wall or recess the fan unit into the outer skin. Alternatively, with non-cavity walls you can construct a false chimney breast in your room.

Just as importantly, the Logic IPF incorporates the very latest integrated electronics that allow all functions to be operated from its own, unique remote control. There is no need to turn a fan on before igniting the fire and no need for a permanent pilot light.

E-Box™ Fires (See pages 36-39, 42-43, 68-77 and 80-95)

This top-of-the-range, 16” wide engine provides exceptional heating efficiency and much improved fuel economy. Set behind a virtually invisible glass window, Gazco’s technology has created a design that offers considerably lower running costs (gas consumption is lower so saving you money). Furthermore, installation is not only simpler than larger glass- fronted fires but also no hearth is required where the E-Box™ is fitted 50mm (2”) above floor level – ideal for hole-in-the-wall settings.

Conventional Flue

The E-Box™ can be installed into all chimney types and has high efficiency levels of up to 76%. The conventional flue E-Box™ is available with coal or pebble fuel beds and the option of Standard or Programmable remote controls.

Balanced Flue version

If you do not have a chimney there is the option of a balanced flue E-Box™. Not only can this be easily fitted to homes with no chimney, but the balanced flue version additionally allows for greater combustion control and even higher efficiency levels of up to 86%. This version is also available with coal or pebble fuel beds and the option of Standard or Programmable remote controls.

E-Studio™ Fires

(See pages 36-41, 68-73, 76-77, 80-83 and 94-95)

This premium 16” wide engine provides high heating efficiency with a contemporary fresh look. Set behind a virtually invisible glass window, the E-Studio™ boasts a stunning ribbon flame effect combined with Gazco’s latest technology, to create a stylish design and lower running costs (gas consumption is lower so saving you money).

Conventional Flue

The E-Studio™ can be installed into all chimney types and has high efficiency levels of up to 72%. The conventional flue E-Studio™ is available with the option of Standard or Programmable remote controls.

Balanced Flue version

If you do not have a chimney there is the option of a balanced flue E-Studio™. Not only can this be easily fitted to homes with no chimney, but the balanced flue version additionally allows for greater combustion control and even higher efficiency levels of up to 82%. This version is also available with the option of Standard or Programmable remote controls.

VFC Fires (See pages 68-69, 72-77, 80-93 and 96-97)

VFC Convector

Available in 16”, 18” and 22” widths and standard or low lintel heights, the VFC Convector is suitable for brick chimneys only but offers the additional benefits of a slightly deeper fuel bed and unique VFC (variable flame control) system. The latter feature allows you to select the exact balance of flame, glow and heat to suit your mood. Set to ‘Blue’ and the fuel bed glows brightly with a lower, translucent flame with a hint of blue. Set to ‘Yellow’ and you will enjoy the yellow, flickering flames and authentic atmosphere of a genuine fire. VFC Convectors are available with coal fuel beds and the option of a Standard remote control.

VFC Powered Flue

Convector

A Powered Flue Kit can be added to the VFC Convector to allow

it to be installed in homes with no chimney. This kit gives you the flexibility of locating the fan unit on an outside wall up to six metres away from the fire, and to incorporate bends in the flue (as illustrated right).

Radiant Fires

These fires are for those who do not require the additional heat of a convector or do not wish to refurbish an existing open fireplace, whether conventional ‘chairbrick’ opening or traditional cast iron fireplace.

VFC Tapered Fires (See pages 100-101)

Providing the same unique variable flame control feature as the VFC Convector, VFC Tapered Fires are designed for installation into conventional 'chairbrick' fireplaces. They are available in 16”, 18” and 22” widths and, according to width, with a choice of Arts, Holyrood or Spanish fronts in a variety of brass, chrome and cast iron finishes, as shown on pages 102-103.

Radiant Fires for Classic Fireplaces (See pages 98-99)

These are non-VFC fires with shapes specially adapted to suit the cast iron Classic Fireplaces manufactured by our sister company Stovax Ltd. Alternatively, should you have an original period fireplace of this type, or a reproduction, then we can generally produce a custom-built fire to meet your needs. Your retailer will be pleased to give you further information.

a) Standard upgradable remote control

Once the pilot light has been ignited manually you can vary the flame height and heat output from the comfort of your armchair.

b) Programmable remote control

This deluxe version has two additional features. The first allows you to thermostatically control the room temperature whilst the second allows you to programme your fire to switch itself on and off twice a day. Use both and you can even come home to a glowing fire that has heated the room to the temperature you select!

Some fires in the Gazco range come with the remote included with the product, these are:

c) Open Studio sequential remote control

With this infra red remote control, you do not need to light the pilot manually as the whole operating sequence (on/off and flame height heat output) is activated from the handset itself.

d)Glass Fronted Studio and Linea sequential remote

This programmable, radio frequency remote control offers all of the features of the Open Studio sequential remote but with the additional benefits of programmable thermostatic and timer functions.

e) Logic IPF remote control

This sequential remote differs in design to those illustrated above, although offering similar features. Please ask your Gazco dealer for further details.

f) Electric Riva

This remote operates the electric Riva, allowing you at the touch of a button to choose between four different flame effects, with or without heat.
