There are loads of Catalytic Flueless gas fires available from
Fireplace Megastore They have all the information on each product for you to view and print for your gas fitter.
Catalytic fires are not as being described here, I feel the fitters that have placed messages above are 'Old School'. We deal with several catalytic providers and have never had a problem, as to the 'low output' theres catalytics available which have a higher than average (chimney version fires) outputs, but at the same time are 100% efficient, so all gas in is turned to heat, saving money and the environment! I've read several reports that catalytic are what the government is to be advising soon, with the reduced supply of Natural Gas and increasing concerns regarding CO2 footprints. As I pointed out we have never heard of a problem with a catalytic fire they have several 'back up' methods to make certain they are functioning, while a CO (Carbon monoxide) detector is advisable to be used with them it is just as advisable to use one with a standard gas fire(there being less sensors in them to provide saftey!) The airvent is not only to provide a standard input to level out the co2 in the atsmosphere with that of the room, but also to allow moisture to leave the room as catalytics burn a natural flame (Along with all other gas fires) the result is water is produced as a byproduct of combustion (GCSE Chemistry). Several studies have shown that we humans can get very uncomfotable after a certan level of humidity in the are (Due to exchanges in the lungs of oxygen being surpressed by oxgen and Water storing heat so meaning its warmer and 'wetter' air) The air vent controls this as 100cm2 is perfectly large enought o allow the exchange back to a proper lever. The saving to both the environment and your pocket clearly outweigh the traditional fires.
