Today’s modern gas logs offer homeowners a variety of options and styles that will fit any application and home decor. Whether just a simple set of logs in an existing hearth to an elaborate set of logs on a bed of rocks, no matter your style, Bantly Hardware has a solution to fit your needs.
Gas logs comes in two options: Vented and Vent-Free:
Vented Logs
If you already have a functioning wood-burning fireplace, vented gas logs may be better suited to you if you are looking for a more wood-burning look.
- Benefits: They have a higher efficiency and higher quality air – average of five times more efficient than traditional fireplaces. Vented Gas Logs are also easy to install.
- Fire Characteristics: Vented Gas Logs produce a yellow, smoky, wood-like flame, so they must be used in a fireplace with a working chimney.
- Type of Heat: Less heat than ventless logs; probably won’t heat your room.
Vent-Free Logs
Since the flames do not touch the logs, vent-free gas logs do not need a functional chimney or flue. That means the heat stays in your home.
- Benefits: very efficient because all of the heat being produced by the Vent Free logs stays in the room and burn less gas than Vented gas logs – approximately half to two-thirds.
- Fire Characteristics: do not have quite as realistic appearance, compared to the Vented gas logs.
- Type of Heat: Vent Free gas logs are designed to be a supplemental source of heat and there are codes governing where vent free products can be used and how many BTU’s they can burn within the home.
