Why buy a slide control gas fire?
Slide control gas fires are all about ease of use. If you prefer simplicity in appliances, these models take all the guesswork out of heating. There are no complex controls, just radiant warmth when you need it.
Easy operation
Designed for convenience, gas-powered slide control fires prioritise the user. Instead of crouching down to access controls, a simple lever positioned at the top or side of the fire allows you to switch it on and adjust the flame height in one smooth motion. Plus, they’re particularly suited to users who are unfamiliar with app-controlled fireplace technology.
Instant warmth
Gas fires provide instant heat, and with slide control functionality, adjusting the output takes seconds. Unlike solid fuel alternatives, there’s no waiting for logs or coals to catch fire: just a quick movement of the lever, and your room is filled with warmth.
Clean and low-maintenance
If you’re always on the go, you want a fire that fits within a low-maintenance schedule. Gas fires with slide control leave no need to stock up on fuel. Regular servicing by a qualified Gas Safe-registered engineer will keep your fire running safely year-on-year.
Radiant heat output
Gas-powered slide control fires can come in a wide range of heat outputs. Everything from 2–3kW fires all the way up to 7–8kW. When picking a fire for your home, it’s important to choose an appliance that’s neither too weak nor too powerful for the room. What we mean by this is that a 2–3kW gas fire would make an excellent addition to a small lounge or living room. But if you’re looking to heat a much larger space, potentially a sitting area and kitchen, you’ll need something with a higher heat output.
Energy-efficiency
Are you worried about excessive running costs? Don’t be: modern gas fires deliver impressive heat output while keeping energy consumption manageable. Many of our models come with efficiency ratings of 60-80% so that you can enjoy a cosy home.
Stylish options
The appliances in our collection are incredibly diverse. You can find everything from glass-fronted to open-fronted configurations, coal, log, and pebble fuel beds, and
fascia finishes in chrome, silver, and brass.
