Hi all,

I am new to this forum, and also do not have any experience with fireplaces, however I need some help.

I am looking at installing a gas fireplace (balanced flue), particularly something like this model: Global Fires - Global 100 Triple BF

The restrictions I have are the following:
- I cannot install a typical chimney as the roof is not mine, and therefore I need a vent coming out from one of the walls
- The horizontal flue length must support a length of 10 meters, as that is the "shortest" distance to install the vent coming out of the wall.

Is this achievable? Is it normal and possible to have a horizontal flue of 10 meters? Are there any models (if not the above) that achieve this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
