Are you in the market for a new fireplace? There is now more choice than ever when it comes to modern gas fireplaces. There are two very different styles which both offer stunning heating and design solutions: Linear and Traditional.

Keep reading to understand the differences between these two distinct styles… and check out some of our latest installations of both…

LINEAR DESIGN

Linear Fireplaces are landscape in design and shaped like a long rectangle – the wide format lends itself to a modern style. These fireplaces are identified by their minimalist, clean design.

The flame is one of the finest features of these linear gas fireplaces. A long burner with beautiful flames spans the full width of these models to create a long a row of fire. The height of the flames depends on the model and can range from 5 cm to 30 cm. While the flame may appear decorative, these fireplaces can produce a lot of heat – able to heat an area up to 260 square metres.

Due to their finished slimline proportions, Linear Fireplaces can be installed as a feature in almost any room, even in smaller rooms like bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.

TRADITIONAL DESIGN

These squarer-shaped gas fireplaces are perfect for creating a traditional fireplace look in a modern or heritage home. Each model can be built into a mantelpiece or finished in a painted wall with a finishing trim or feature tile.

Four models feature the ‘Clean Face’ design (Lopi 564CF 25K, Lopi 864CF 31K, Lopi 864CF 40K and Lopi ProBuilder 36CF) enabling you to finish your traditional looking fireplace in a minimal way without the need for grills or louvers. The Lopi 564HO GS2 and 864ST GS2 feature the option of multiple face or grill options for an even more traditional look.

Traditional gas fireplaces provide all the things we love about a wood burning fire, but in a much more convenient package. Operated by a remote or wall switch, today’s traditional gas fireplaces are so realistic, it can be hard to tell the difference between them and a wood-burning fire.
