I've always loved the homely feeling that you can only get from a fireplace. This may be sacrilegious to say on a gadget blog, but there are times when I would rather watch a fire crackling away in the living room instead of the TV. Unless “House” is on. The only problem with fireplaces is that they're usually associated with older homes, furnished with doilies and rare mahogany settees, that can accommodate a chimney. Well not any more.
The Superior Scandium is a stunning flueless gas fire that can put many wide screen TVs to shame. The first thing that has to be said about this is that it is absolutely gorgeous and will not only fit into a modern home, but will enhance it, unlike a smoky, brick fireplace. The black glass and aluminium trim means that it will match any décor and is guaranteed to be be a head-turner at your next party.
As this is a flueless gas fire, it can be positioned anywhere in the home and isn't restricted only to where a flue or chimney can be positioned. This means that not only can you decide on the focal point of your room, you can also position it to warm rooms that were otherwise impractical to heat. With no heat escaping through a flue, the Superior Scandium is more effective at heating your home with a fuel efficient 3.5Kw output.
With a width of 1055mm, a height of 530mm and a sleek depth of 183mm, the Superior Scandium is big enough to make a statement in your room, but compact enough to fit anywhere, meaning that you don't need to build a new feature wall to house it.
The only thing that lets it down a little is the fact that it is operated through manual controls, so if you’re lazy like me then a remote control would have been good whilst you snuggled up near the fire on them long winter nights. However that aside, if you're as taken as I am with the idea of being warm and stylish this Winter then opt for the Superior Scandium to melt your ice cycles.
