FAQ

Why does Chippendale Restorations recommend the WONDERFIRE Gas Fire?

The Wonderfire is a gas burner developed & made in England, superior to any of the other burners offered here in Australia. We know the Wonderfire is the best open flame gas burner for your situation for the following reasons:

– It is a fully ceramic burner that supplies more “radiant heat” than any other gas fire (as you FELT FOR YOURSELF in the store!).

– It will heat up to 30m2 (of enclosed area with 3m ceilings)

– It can be fitted inside a “Fan Forced Box” to add additional “convection heat” to heat up to 60m2 (of enclosed area with 3m ceilings).

– The Wonderfire is specifically designed to fit the Victorian, Edwardian & Federation style fireplace grates.

– It only requires a 150mm Gas Cowl (the smallest size approved to fit inside a traditional chimney pot).

– It is approved for use with a 150mm flue if required (which will fit down the tightest of chimneys).

– The *Wonderfire* has no peer for reliability.
