Valor Radiant Gas Inserts

Valor gas fireplaces are originally from Britain and were the original leader in gas fireplaces in the late seventies.  Miles Industry, a family-owned and operated company out of Vancouver, Canada, began importing gas products to North America at this time, in 1984, they gained exclusive rights from Valor to distribute the product in North America.  In 1986, Valor made the first ever direct vent room sealed fireplace and the first power-vented unit, making installation almost anywhere in the home possible.  As sales rapidly grew, Miles Industry was granted the right to design and manufacture Valor Gas Fireplaces in North America.  The Valor fireplace is the original radiant gas heater.  Their unit does not come stocked with factory blowers and is only listed as an optional accessory.  This is the case because their fireplaces are designed to radiant heat in such a way that a blower is not necessary.  A blower on one of their units only adds 1% efficiency.  So, with their units, you don't have to worry about where to hide the power cord or how to get electrical to the unit.  A blower is not necessary with their inserts.  They offer three different insert sizes in the Legend Series (G3, G3.5, G4) and various interior options, as well as an extensive selection of fronts and colored surrounds.  They also have a unit called the retrofire, which is a small unit perfect for prefab fireplaces and is offered at a very friendly price.
