The Legend Virage HE Gas Fire – Fascia Model is an open-fronted inset gas fire designed to deliver stronger efficiency and heat performance than a standard open-fronted model, while retaining the visual appeal of a living flame fuel bed. It is aimed at customers who want the ambience of an open gas fire without moving to a glass-fronted appliance.
What makes this model stand out is the balance between open-fronted styling and improved performance. The supplied data states that the Virage HE uses more advanced gas fire technology to get more from the gas used, helping it achieve 67% efficiency, which is notably strong for an open-fronted gas fire. It offers up to 4.1 kW heat output on high, making it a practical heating option as well as a decorative feature. The fascia version is paired with Vision 3-sided fascia options, giving it a more contemporary inset appearance for standard fireplace openings.
The fire is designed for Natural Gas and is suitable for Class 1 brick chimneys or equivalent. It is available with a wide choice of fuel effects, including moulded coals, ripped coals, modular coals and Deluxe Beachcoals, allowing the final look to be taken in a more traditional or more contemporary direction. Control options include manual, slide and remote, so the appliance can be specified to suit the level of convenience required. The supplied data also states that an air vent is not normally needed.

Expert Insight
The main appeal of the Virage HE is that it keeps the more traditional open-fronted flame presentation while improving efficiency beyond what many customers expect from this type of gas fire.
