Lana from Three Birds Renovations has always said that one regret she had whilst renovating her beautiful home was the lighting selected for her living room and connecting hallway. She claimed the harsh cool downlights made the environment feel less like a home and more like a doctor’s surgery. Lana wanted to create a cosier space, especially on those cold winter nights.
To rectify this issue, Lana opted to install a Lopi 4415 HO GS2 high-heat-output linear gas fireplace into a newly crafted wall framework, giving her living room a more warm and inviting atmosphere and creating a beautiful focal point to draw both her family and guests into the living area.
Lana wanted to mount a 65” recessed TV above the fireplace, ensuring that it could be installed with a reduced distance to the fireplace. To meet these requirements, Lana decided to include the CoolSmart wall kit system, which works to redirect the convection heat expelled from the fireplace when the fans are switched off, venting above the TV and greatly reducing the heat exposure for sensitive electronics.
As part of a premium linear gas fireplace series, the 4415 features the GreenSmart 2 (GS2) burner system, providing you with the technology to control every aspect of your fireplace. Using the GS2 remote, you can control the fireplace’s flame height and heat output by either increasing or decreasing the gas output of the unit, as well as the six-speed quiet fans and Smart Thermostat settings, which allow you to modulate the flame to keep the room at a constant set temperature. In addition, the GS2 system allows you to control the visual aspects of the fireplaces, such as the six-level accent lighting.
For this installation, the timber-frame fire was clad in Villaboard, a fibre-cement sheeting. The joint compound that was used to seal the Villaboard was spread all over the wall, creating a rough textured appearance for the wall to match the textured brick wall behind. The feature wall was then completed with 185 mm high skirting boards and custom-built, wall-hung cabinetry on either side of the fireplace. This video showcases the installation process.
The Lopi 4415 is a high-heat-output fireplace fitted with ceramic glass that can hold higher heat levels and for longer periods of time, thereby increasing the radiant heat output from the unit. Further accessories in this installation include black reflective glass on the floor of the fireplace, a black glass fireback liner, Driftwood Log Fyre-Art and a 10 mm black finishing trim. In addition, all Lopi gas fireplaces feature an almost invisible Clear Fire safety screen for added protection against the hot glass, included as standard.
