DRU: Market-leading flame technology since 1754
DRU began in the Netherlands as a manufacturer of pots and pans, moved into gas heating in the 1960s, and has grown into the market leader in gas fires and wood-burning stoves across Europe. Few fireplace brands can claim manufacturing roots stretching back this far, and that depth of experience still shapes every fire DRU builds today.
Why choose DRU?
Choose DRU for a fire that combines proven engineering with 270 years of manufacturing heritage, advanced burner technology and smart controls, all designed to make owning a fire simpler and more rewarding.
Built on 270 years of expertise
Manufacturing roots stretching back to 1754 mean every fire and stove you buy today carries centuries of refinement, so you get a flame that’s been perfected, not experimental.
A richer flame, built in
The Dynamic Flame Burner adds a second burner around the ceramic logs in the Maestro range, giving you a deeper, denser, higher flame for a more absorbing fire to relax around.
Easy control from your phone
The Eco Wave app control lets you adjust the flame pattern, monitor gas consumption and run diagnostics from wherever you are, so your fire fits around your life rather than the other way round.
Install almost anywhere
PowerVent’s extended, motorised flue system reaches locations a standard flue can’t, so you’re free to place your fire exactly where you want it, not just where the flue allows.
What does the DRU range include?
DRU’s range spans premium and value-tier gas fires, stoves and electric fires, giving you a fit whatever your budget or installation setup.
Metro & Maestro gas fires
Frameless, 2-sided, 3-sided and tunnel formats, built for striking, architectural installations.

Ongoing support & aftercare
Once installed, we remain on hand for aftercare, servicing questions, and warranty support.
DRU installation & safety assurance
DRU pioneered the balanced flue system, which makes the fire a room-sealed appliance, drawing its combustion air directly from outside rather than the room itself. This sits alongside conventional flue models designed for standard UK chimney openings, so there’s a choice whether or not your home has an existing chimney. Many glass-fronted models also achieve gas efficiency of up to 85%, delivering strong performance alongside their safety credentials.
What are the benefits of DRU?
DRU’s benefits span flame quality, smart control and installation flexibility, all built on decades of dedicated engineering – so you get a fire that looks the part and works harder for you.
A richer, more dramatic flame
The Dynamic Flame Burner produces a deeper, denser and higher flame than a standard single-burner design, giving you a more absorbing fire to sit and relax around.
Control from your pocket
Eco Wave lets you adjust flame and gas use or check diagnostics from your phone, so you can fine-tune your fire without ever leaving the sofa.
A fire that fits your home
With both balanced and conventional flues available, DRU fires suit homes with or without a chimney, so you’re not restricted by your existing setup.
Heat you can rely on
Many glass-fronted gas models reach up to 85% efficiency, so your fire earns its place as a proper heat source, not just a visual feature.

DRU FAQs
Both the Metro and Maestro sit within DRU’s premium gas fire collection, but Maestro features the Dynamic Flame Burner for a deeper, more dramatic flame. Metro offers a more standard flame picture within the same premium range.
