Can I make a fireplace in a room with no chimney breast and no chimney?( NODDY HOLDER and other property types)

[cyb]

I need a focal point. its bugging me

A real one to burn stuff or a pretend one to look nice?

Hmm, preferably a real one of some description, but could be a gas real one iyswim. I just want one!

you could get a woodburner or go for gas realistic

How does the smoke go without a chimney breast though? I would LOVE a wood burner

this one for example (we call it the vag

What about one of those ones that burn Methylated spirits?
You get real flame, doesn't need to be flued, are environmentally friendly and are quite effective.

its easier if you have an outside wall you just have to have the flu on display

Wood burner is fine without a chimney

You just have a stove pipe which goes out through the wall passes through another room it

It is possible on an inside wall & if it can act as a bit of central heating......but building regs can be complicated

like these

Wow bronze that really is like someone's nethers.

It would be on a joined wall with our semi detatched neighbours but I suppose the flue could go sideways to the external wall?

Think I ma searching for the right thing now online 'flueless gas fires'

there are other nicer versions, just that one always make me laugh as I'm sure the desingers/sellers have no idea better versions here

What about one of those wall mounted ones which are very trendy at the minute, they don't take up any floor space. I'm not sure whether I like them or not. My friend has one in her new home and it does look good, not sure they'd look so good in older style rooms/properties.

I've FOUND IT

pout :)

Yes you need flueless gas for this otherwise a huge job to construct a chimney etc.i built a fake chikmey breast from reclaimed bricks in a room without and eventuall fitted a gas fire and it looked great.We were an end house so the pipework could have been done for real but it was too expensive.There is a new electric stove that has just been produced which is the best simple solution I have seen you fill a little tank with water and it produces a steam effect over logs which is lovely at night.

Esse do a contemporary looking one which sometimes looks better than trying for traditional and it looking fake iygwim.Will have a look in my folders and post later if I find anything

is it an outside wall?

You could get a flueless fireplace - but they are ££££s.

sorry All3ways! Didn't click your link.

I am very excited about the prospect of a gel one! Might even get one for dining room at back of house too....as long as gel fuel isn't too £££££

The gel ones are not good as a long term thing.they do smell and look fake-y

oh nodders don;t tell me that....i was setting all my hopes on those

They may have moved on a bit but I had one about 5/6 yrs ago and only lit it for brief periods when agents/viewings were taking place.It was pretty and people did like the 'effect' but when I used it for longer than 15 mins when I hosted my book group we could all smell it after a while a bit liek lighter fuel.You need adequate ventilation but even that didn't help.Smeg do a retro gas one which is not to everyones taste but does gi=ve off a good heat.

Ack. Just looked at Smeg one online...not sure

nodders what about this type of thing?
