This works in the same way a normal chimney would, and can run either internally or externally to your property. If you still enjoy the look of a conventional chimney for your log burner fireplace, you can choose for your flue pipe to be hidden behind a faux chimney breast.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to remember that in airtight properties such as new builds, there must be an air vent permanently open to the outside. The size of the air vent opening is dependent on the heat (kW) output of the appliance in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Some<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/products\/stoves\/contemporary\/\">wood burning appliances<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>have the option of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/features\/integrated-external-air-connection\/\">Outside Air Kit<\/a> that ducts the air from outside the house directly to the appliance, without the need for an open vent into the room.

They work in conjunction with glass-fronted gas stoves or fires, and are completely sealed from the room into which it is installed. This means there are no draughts, and heating efficiency is increased, with a twin-wall pipe venting directly to an outside wall. This also means no additional ventilation is required. You can read more about<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/chimneys-flues\/chimneys-flue-systems-for-gas-stoves-fires\/\">how a balanced flue gas fire works<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>here.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"option-3-cavity-wall-gas-fire\"><\/span>Option 3: Cavity wall gas fire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>You can make the most of the cavity wall in your new build by having a<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/fires\/gas-fires\/about-studio-gas-fires\/studio-slimline\/\">cavity wall gas fire<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>installed. A cavity wall gas fire features all the benefits of a full-depth gas fire but with the added ability to be installed in the internal leaf of a cavity wall. Most of these fires come complete with a dedicated rear exit balanced flue termination kit, which uses a twin-wall pipe to vent directly through the outside wall. Glass-fronted, the fire is completely sealed from the room and the air needed for combustion is drawn from the exterior of the property.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/stove-fire\/riva2-500hl-slimline\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Riva2-500HL-Slimline-Edge-with-EchoFlame-Black-Glass-lining-in-Malmo-Mantel_870x600.jpg\" alt=\"Gazco Riva2 500HL Slimline Edge gas fire\" width=\"870\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Riva2-500HL-Slimline-Edge-with-EchoFlame-Black-Glass-lining-in-Malmo-Mantel_870x600.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Riva2-500HL-Slimline-Edge-with-EchoFlame-Black-Glass-lining-in-Malmo-Mantel_870x600-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Riva2-500HL-Slimline-Edge-with-EchoFlame-Black-Glass-lining-in-Malmo-Mantel_870x600-370x255.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/stove-fire\/riva2-500hl-slimline\/\">Partial cavity wall gas fires<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>work in much the same way as a cavity wall fire. Here, the fire is recessed almost entirely within the internal leaf of the wall, with a small protrusion left to be housed. This reduces the footprint of the fire in the room dramatically, requiring little space. One example from Gazco is the<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/stove-fire\/riva2-500hl-slimline\/\">award-winning Riva2 500HL Slimline Gas Fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-have-an-electric-fireplace-in-a-new-build\"><\/span>Can I have an electric fireplace in a new build?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes.

For gas fires and stoves, installation must be performed by a qualified gas installer (Gas Safe registered in the UK, or RGI in the Republic of Ireland).
