The answer would usually be no. This is because plaster normally falls to bits at about 80 degrees centigrade. The flange, fittings or frame of these hole in the wall gas fires easily gets hot enough to ruin plaster and wallpaper.
That is until now.
Nu-Flame has not only produced the probably the most efficient gas fires on the market, but they have now produced two-hole in the wall gas fires that can be fitted safely against plaster and wallpaper.
Enter The Icona. The first open hole in the wall gas fire. It comes with an impressive frame which stays cool while the fire heats your room and does not damage the paint, plaster or wallpaper. Plus it has an amazing 62% efficiency versus 25% efficiency for other fires of this type.
And now the Synergy, which is a high efficiency (over 80% efficient) glass fronted hole in the wall gas fire which has been designed to have a frame that stays cool and can be fitted against painted plaster or wallpaper.
The news just gets better because you can even put your TV over your gas fire with the addition of their special discrete Nu-Flame Glass Heat Shield.
Plus as you would expect with this quality of fire they all come with full Remote Control.
So yes, thanks to Nu-Flame, you can have a hole in wall gas fire against wallpaper or plaster.
