Q: Can I have a hole in the wall fire?
A: Contact your local builder or fireplace fitter and have
a site survey carried out. Using the dimensions from this site check
the dimensions first before purchasing. For all gas fires use a certified
Corgi gas fireplace fitter. |
Q: Is my chimney/flue suitable?
A: Our Gel Fires do not require a flue and so no chimney
is required. Our Gas fired baskets are suitable for Class1 and Class
2 flues. If you uncertain which type of flue you have, please get
an inspection carried out by a NACS approved chimney sweep or a Corgi
registered Gas fireplace fitter. |
Q: Does my chimney need to be lined?
A: For the fitting of any of our Gas fires we recommend
that you have your chimney/flue swept and inspected by a NACS approved
sweep and or a Corgi certificated gas engineer in order to establish
if a liner is required. |
Q: Who can install my fireplace?
A: All installations must be carried out in accordance with
the requirements set out in the Building Regulation documents, in
particular, Approved Document J. There are independent bodies which
have been approved to carry out installations in accordance with these
regulations. For Gas installations the most recognised independent
body is CORGI. Please make sure your fitter is Corgi registered. Once
the fire has been fitted you will be issued a certificate stating
that your installation has been carried out in accordance with the
current Building Regulations. If you do not have one of these certificates
then you will have to go to your local Building Control Officer and
get them to inspect your installation and approve it. Your Gel Fire
is currently not covered by these regulations and therefore can be
fitted by any competent builder. |
Q: Do I need a hearth?
A: For installations within the UK, you do not need a hearth
as long as your installation complies with British Standard: 5871/3
2005. See below. |
 |
Q: Do I need an air vent?
A: No, all our gas burners are under 7Kw input and therefore
do not require an air vent. |
Q: Where do I find a Corgi registered fireplace fitter?
A: Your local phone directory will have a listing of fitters
in your area, or you can Ring Corgi direct on 0870-401-2300 or email
them or visit their site at www.corgi-gas.com |
Q: Do I need a mains electrical supply?
A: No, our remote control Gas fires are battery operated
and require no mains wiring. |
Q: Can I use your products as a solid fuel fire?
A: No, all our fires are made for Gas and Gel only. |
Q: Will your fires heat my room?
A: Our Gas fires are all classed as decorative flame effect
fires and are not intended as the primary source of heat for any room,
although unlike some other fires they have been made to burn as efficiently
as possible. |
Q: Which Countries are your Gas fires suitable for?

suitable for use in the following countries: UK & Ireland, Austria, Belgium,
Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France,
