Here are just a few of the questions that we are regularly asked at Pure Glow, if there is any other query that you have or information that you request then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, either by way of the contact form on this website or by telephone.

The heat source you can have in your home is largely dependant on the type of chimney you have. There are three typical types of chimney and flue found in houses at the moment, these are the conventional chimney, the pre-fabricated flue and the pre-cast flue. Please check your own requirements with your fireplace retailer or installer.

Class 1

These are commonly found in older houses (pre-1960) and are identifiable by a 7″ (180mm) or greater diameter flue. Prior to installation of a new fireplace, an existing flue must be structurally sound and checked for blockages.

Class 2

pre-fabricatedThese are found either in an older house where the existing flue has been lined with a proprietary steel flue or in a newer house with a steel flue built in. Identifiable by a 5″ (130mm) or greater diameter flue and a steel flue terminal.

Class 2 – pre-cast

Many newer properties that do not have chimneys are fitted with pre-cast flues made from hollow concrete or clay blocks. These travel vertically up through the cavity wall of the property to a ridge vent or metal flue terminal on the roof.

No chimney required

Modern houses often have no chimney and one option is a to consider our highly efficient PureGlow flueless gas fires or one of our balanced flu models. Another option is an electric fire which can be located in virtually and room in the house.

Cast Iron

Non painted or lacquered  cast iron products will have a protective oil based coating applied to polished surfaces. This should be cleaned off during installation. It is recommended that a spray-type oil is applied occasionally to discourage rusting. Ensure that your room is thoroughly dry before installation. Under no circumstances should a water based cleaner or polish be used to clean cast iron products.

Stone

Limestone is naturally porous, so all aegean limestone surrounds need to be sealed to avoid staining. Once installed and dry, surfaces should be cleaned and sealed  using suitable limestone sealing solution. Protect the surface from coloured liquids such as fruit juices and red wine. In the event of an accident, use a specialist cleaning and resealing kit.

Marble should be protected from comimg into contact with strong coloured solutions and citrus juices. To maintain the subtle shine of the surface, occasionally wipe over with a solution of general household cleaner and buff with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any bleach or abrasive cleaning agents.

Veneered MDF

As this material is not resistant to very hot items, we recommend that it is not used in conjunction with any solid fuel fires. To clean, dust occasionally with a soft drycloth. Avoid silicon based sprays.
