Modern Fire Features for Any Fireplace
Fireballs offer a sleek, contemporary alternative to traditional gas logs. Whether you’re designing an indoor or outdoor fireplace, choosing between vented and vent-free fireballs impacts flame style, efficiency, and installation needs.
Vented Fireballs
- Larger, more natural flames with a realistic, flickering effect
- Requires a chimney or venting system
- Less heat efficiency (some heat escapes through the vent)
Vent-Free Fireballs
- Higher heat efficiency—nearly all warmth stays in the room
- No chimney or vent required for easy installation
- Smaller, more controlled flames
