We have Flattened a Curve and Coloured our World! Our showroom is open by appointment. Fireplace projects are exciting … and Vancouver Gas Fireplaces wants to keep our fireplace conversations rolling with you! We have set up a fun, colour-coded floor system that will easily keep us 6 feet apart. Fun and symbolic, "FloorBow" flattens the curve of a rainbow;  its colours guide us to stay safely apart when we meet in  person! [caption id="attachment_7372" align="alignleft" width="222"] Colour "FloorBow" by the starting green.[/caption]   It’s simple. If you stand on a Red mark, I will stand on Red mark … and we’ll be 6 feet apart. Blue for you, blue for me. Or perhaps Purple is the best site line for you to see? Maybe yellow? Or turquoise will get you closer to your dream flame- and Orange you glad you've made a plan ... for a brand new fireplace installation!     [caption id="attachment_7364" align="alignleft" width="218"] When it's time for a showroom meeting, the FloorBow will help us meet together, 6 feet apart.[/caption] Let’s talk about your project by telephone first, and then we can arrange for your private, in-store consultation.

We introduced the ProBuilder 42 in August, and added it to our showroom in November. It was well-received, and popular amongst buyers looking for a clean, no frills type of unit. FireplaceX has now just released the ProBuilder 72. This is the second unit of a series of value-priced, efficient fireplaces. They feature the great technology we’ve come to expect from the FireplaceX brand, but without a lot of options and features, which would run the cost of a unit up. The ProBuilder series are available in IPI or Standing Pilot, and have optional twin 90 CFM fans, the remote control is also an added option. These units will be very popular amongst builders or developers, as they feature a contemporary design, and heavy duty construction that will make them durable over time, unlike the builder’s special fireplaces of yesterday. Look for the ProBuilder 54 Linear and the ProBuilder 36 Square to be released within the next year. Come see the ProBuilder 42 in our showroom.
