The Superior Athos Flueless Gas Fire

Traditionally, the fireplace would sit in the wall, be fed with coal and tend to make a mess of the surrounding area. In these modern times we don’t always have time to light up a coal fire and clean it out etc… We need something cleaner, quicker and very efficient. Superior, a fireplace manufacturer for a number of years has created the Athos Flueless Gas Fire as part of their range and with it’s sleek modern design it brings warmth and efficient heating in to the home while avoiding the inevitable “black smudges” that traditional fireplaces attract.

The Athos is a very sleek looking fireplace that will immediately grab attention and provide a focal point for any room. The sleek and modern design is achieved with it’s black aluminium frame that surrounds the black fire box. It measures 515mm high, 925mm wide and is 180mm in depth (when mounted on a wall). With the fireplace being flueless and wall mountable it requires no hearth, inset or chimney. In fact, all that is required is a wall and a room that’s 40m3 in size which is a fairly average size room in the UK.

This particular model is capable of pushing out 2.0kW up to 3.5kW of heat and it runs at 100% efficiency. An interesting feature of this fireplace is the clean burn catalytic technology which helps improve the air in a room by reducing odours and cigarette particles in the air. The catalytic converter itself also requires no upkeep making this product even more appealing to those of us who are time deprived.

With all fires there is an element of caution when it comes to safety within the home. The Athos fire boasts the following safety features.

* Thermal Glass Front
* Oxygen depletion sensor (ODS)
* Flame failure device
