Natural Draft (B-vent) Fireplaces Services in Gaithersburg, Maryland & DC
Natural draft fireplaces (also called B-vent fireplaces) draw combustion air from inside your home and exhaust combustion byproducts naturally through a vent in the roof. B-vent fireplaces have a solid glass front without operable doors. B-vent fireplaces have a number of benefits compared to other gas fireplaces. While they do require a chimney, they require very little clearance and can be installed creatively. B-vent fireplaces can also be vented into a masonry chimney, even if your furnace or water heater is already venting there too.
Benefits of natural draft (B-vent) fireplaces
Because they produce big, yellow flames, B-vent fireplaces are primarily used as decorative pieces. Since they vent hot gases up through the roof, they can be safely operated with the glass in place or removed. B-vent fireplaces are perfect for creating a warm, inviting home ambience with comfortable radiant heat perfect for cold winter movie nights on the couch!
