Escea Direct Vent Flue Kit (suit Freestanding TFS650/1000))

The concept of a wood-burning fireplace in the home has been around for thousands of years. And while the nostalgia of them remains unchanged, the way these fireplaces operate has evolved significantly over the years.

From medieval times when open wood fires were made of stones and bricks, to today's glass-fronted, sealed fireplaces, wood fires now offer increased efficiency, safety, and greater design freedom.

Direct Vent Wood Fireplaces

Air Intake for Combustion:                               Outside the home

Flue Type:                                                             Balanced

Heat Produced:                                                   Radiant and convection

Escea has further enhanced Basic Vented fireplaces by exclusively using outside air to fuel the fire, a system known as Direct Vent Technology. This innovation ensures the fire doesn’t interfere with indoor air circulation, making them ideal for modern, airtight homes built today.

Rather than using room air for combustion, Direct Vent fireplaces feature a sealed combustion chamber or 'firebox' that draws air from outside the home and expels exhaust air back outside via a dual-layer flue system, or a ‘balanced flue’.

Radiant heat is produced directly from the glass-door, while convection heat is produced by the room air that travels around the firebox (‘room air heating circuit’). However, unlike Basic Vented fireplaces, this circuit is completely separate from the firebox, so the combustion air and room air never mix.

This system minimises heat loss, eliminates cold draughts, doesn’t require external vents, and heats the home more efficiently – for better overall home performance.  

Direct Vent wood fireplaces also offer more design flexibility, as they can be installed in more locations around the home, including on exterior or internal walls, or in the centre of a room.
