Living flame gas fires use the process of combustion to create heat. Oxygen and natural gases inside the fire are ignited by controls on the fire or remote control, which then delivers warmth and light into your home. \rIn the 1980s, real flame gas fires faced a surge in popularity: their cost-effectiveness and realism became the staple choice amongst homeowners, and since then, fireplace technology has only continued to improve. \rNow, retailers like Fires2U can provide homes with state-of-the-art gas fires. Not only do they become the striking centrepiece of your room, but they are highly versatile and come in a range of contemporary and modern designs. \rPlus, you can choose from a vast range of control options, including manual control (which is often standard), slide control, touch control, top control or remote control. You can also select your preferred thermostatic control features on some models, available in either natural gas (which is standard) or LPG gas (which if available is an optional cost option).
