DRU Art 2 Balanced Flue Gas Wall Heater

For over 70 years, DRU balanced flue heaters have been the go-to choice for churches, schools, offices, and domestic properties across the UK. The Art Series continues this legacy, offering dependable warmth without the need for complex installation or ongoing electrical power. Whether you’re replacing an older Baxi Brazillia wall heater or looking for a discreet, low maintenance source of heat, the DRU Art 2 provides a perfect balance of performance and simplicity.

The DRU Art Series Wall Heaters are expertly engineered to deliver safe, efficient, and comfortable heat using DRU’s renowned balanced flue system. The flue comprises two concentric tubes - the outer tube draws in fresh air from outside for combustion, while the inner tube safely expels waste gases, ensuring clean and efficient operation. Heat is produced through natural convection, which is both quiet and more efficient than water-based systems.

There’s no risk of freezing and no need for anti-corrosive additives, making the system ideal for continuous use throughout the colder months. Each heater reaches maximum output within just 30 minutes, delivering warmth quickly and efficiently. The heat distribution is carefully balanced at 85% convection and 15% radiant heat, providing a perfect mix of steady background warmth and direct comfort.

Built for durability, the Ceramet-coated heat exchangers ensure long-lasting performance and come with a 10 year extended warranty for added peace of mind. Designed for flexible installation, the Art Series can accommodate wall thicknesses from 70mm to 980mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of buildings.

Each model includes an integral modulating thermostat with a capillary sensor for precise temperature control. While no electrical connection is required, the heater can be linked to an automatic time clock for enhanced convenience. A range of optional terminal and internal heater guards are also available for safety in high-traffic areas. The Art Series can be operated on either Natural Gas or Propane (LPG), providing complete versatility for any installation.

Efficient, Balanced Flue Operation

The Art 2 uses DRU’s renowned balanced flue system, meaning it draws all combustion air from outside the property and expels waste gases directly through an external wall. This completely sealed system ensures safety and efficiency, ideal for properties without a traditional chimney. It also means that no room air is used in the combustion process, so your indoor air quality remains clean and healthy.

This clever design makes the DRU Art 2 Wall Heater extremely versatile, suitable for almost any external wall where a gas supply is available. It’s an excellent option for adding supplementary heat in rooms that are difficult to warm, such as church vestries, school halls, offices, workshops, or conservatories.

Simple, Safe & Maintenance-Free

The DRU Art 2 Balanced Flue Heater operates using natural convection, distributing warmth evenly and quietly throughout the room without the use of fans or electrical connections. This makes it an entirely non-electric gas heater, perfect for locations where power sockets are limited or during power cuts.

It features manual battery powered piezo ignition for simple start-up, a cool-touch handle for safety, and a built-in thermostat for precise temperature control. The steel casing in a classic beige enamel finish ensures durability and blends effortlessly with traditional or institutional interiors.

Compact Yet Capable Performance

Despite its modest size and light 11kg weight, the Art 2 delivers impressive heating performance. On natural gas, it provides a 2.4kW heat output (2.0kW on LPG) and an efficiency of up to 78%, ensuring powerful warmth and economical running costs. It’s the ideal solution for maintaining comfort in smaller rooms or as a supplemental heater in larger spaces.

The DRU Art 2 Wall Heater can be installed with either a Telescopic Balanced Flue Kit (adjustable from 250mm to 440mm) or a Rigid 600mm Flue Kit for thicker walls, offering flexibility to suit various building types. Optional internal and external guards are also available for enhanced safety in high traffic areas.

Why Choose the DRU Art 2 Wall Heater?

For decades, DRU’s balanced flue heaters have set the standard in the UK for reliable, cost-effective heating where efficiency, safety, and low maintenance are essential. The Art 2 model continues this tradition, providing a discreet, efficient, and quiet heating solution that’s perfectly suited to both modern homes and traditional buildings.

Gas heaters offer a range of advantages over electric heaters and other types of space heating. They are generally cheaper to run, easy to operate, and provide instant warmth and comfort whenever you need it, no matter the location. This makes them a practical and cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial environments where reliable heat is essential.

One of the main reasons to choose a gas powered heater is convenience. With just the push of a button, you can enjoy a gentle, relaxing warmth without waiting for the system to heat up. Gas is also an exceptionally clean burning fuel, producing no fine particles or soot, which makes it better for both your indoor air quality and the environment. Installation is straightforward, too. In closed combustion systems, all exhaust gases are safely vented outside through an external wall or roof, maintaining a sealed and efficient heating environment.

Whether for a home, chapel, classroom, or office, the DRU Art 2 Wall Heater delivers enduring performance and dependable warmth - all without the need for electricity or a chimney.
