What is a 'direct vent' fireplace?
Direct vents are high efficiency, sealed gas fireplace systems. Fresh air is pulled from the exterior of the house via the flue and burned within the confines of the combustion chamber.
Byproducts of combustion are isolated from the home as they exit to the outside. These fireplaces can be vented horizontally (to an outside wall) or vertically (at the roof) and will
minimize heat loss through the chimney--yielding an average 70% efficiency through dry convection and radiant heat. A sealed Monessen direct vent fireplace system will not spill or back
draft byproducts of combustion into the living space and are approved for bedrooms or baths.
