Valor has been manufacturing quality heating products for over 100 years, and today is one of the global market leaders, in terms of gas fire production. The company was founded in Birmingham in 1890, and initially sold storage containers for oil. With the appearance of the oil heater in 1902, Valor turned its attention to heating, and the first Valor oil heaters were released that same year.
Technology continued to develop rapidly over the years, and in 1966, the first Valor gas fire, the Valor Radiant, was released for sale. Just 10 years later, the first Valor living flame gas fire burst onto the market, closely imitating a real coal fire. With their amazing new gas fire, the company strengthened its position at the forefront of the gas fire market.
Since the turn of this century, Valor has kept abreast of the increasing demand for innovative heating products, and the current Valor gas fire range reflects this. There are the traditional favourites, inspired by period styles from bygone eras, and such a fire is the Valor Spanish Basket fire. In smart black and chrome, this basket fire will look cosy and stylish in any home.
The Valor Eminence contemporary fire features a log fuel bed, and will bring a modern yet cosy look to any home. It is available in the contemporary colours of silver and black and is also powered by remote control, meaning you can turn up or down from the comfort of the sofa! For the ultimate in modernity and sophistication, check out the Valor Visia gas fire. This hang-on-the-wall landscape design has a striking black and white fascia and a pebble fuel bed, and is also operated by remote control.
The wide range of Valor gas fires can be viewed on the Valor website. Whether you require a hole-in the-wall fire, a hang-on-the-wall version, or a freestanding model, there is a Valor gas fire to suit all tastes. Fires feature coal, pebble and logs fuel beds, may be glass or open fronted, and come in colours such as chrome, brass and black.
In addition to manufacturing gas fires, Valor has been manufacturing electric fires for several years. By keeping up with innovation and supplying quality models at fair prices, Valor has established itself in recent years as one of the biggest electric fire manufacturers. Today, Valor is a huge company and one of the largest fire manufacturers in the world. Recently, the company has joined forces with Newmond plc and Baxi, meaning Valor will surely be at the forefront of the heating industry for many years to come.
