DRU Fires was awarded a contract to produce and install purpose-designed gas fires into Ebury Square, a prestigious development of luxury apartments by Berkeley Homes in Belgravia in 2016. The Ebury Square apartments are at the premium end of the London property market and were designed by leading architects Squire & Partners and renowned interior designer Martin Goddard. The gas fires, known as Prestige models, were selected for their contemporary design, versatile formats and high-energy efficiency. They consist of single-sided and double-sided tunnel models depending on the layout of each individual apartment. They are balanced flue appliances. Air is drawn from outside the building for combustion, with waste gases expelled outside through a concentric flue. This results in effective, comfortable heating, with no depletion of air from inside the room. An important factor that persuaded Berkeley Homes to work with DRU was the company’s unique PowerVent® system. Due to the size of the buildings and the configuration of the apartments, the flues had to be extended up to 64 metres throughout the service ducts in the complex, with most of the fires having external PowerVent® terminals on the roof. In total, 89 fires were installed at Ebury Square, 67 of which utilised the PowerVent® system and including one in the reception area on the ground floor.
