The mansion and estate, which extends to over 40 acres, has been designed for the ultimate in luxury accommodation and is in one of the most sought-after parts of the south east of England.<\/p>\n

The developers and installers selected the DRU Metro single sided and 3-sided gas fires and a Spartherm inset wood burning fire for their high specifications and \u2018A\u2019 energy ratings. In the case of the gas fires, this included the use of the exclusive DRU PowerVent extended flue system, which meant that there was no restriction on where the fires could be located in the building.<\/p>\n

In addition, the gas fires can be operated using the unique DRU Eco Wave app for tablets and smartphones. This feature is in keeping with the overall energy rating of the property, which is designed to be centrally controlled using the latest technology.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the project, Ethos project manager Niten Mistry said: \u2018The DRU and Spartherm fires were selected for their impressive performance and ease of installation. They also contribute to the high quality of the property.<\/p>\n

Both during and after the project, we were impressed by the advice given by Billy and Danny of Grate Expectations and the DRU technical support team, who responded professionally to a challenging project and delivered a first-class result.\u2019<\/p>\n
