Instead, they are designed to burn clean and the combustion by-products allowed to flow into the room the fireplace is located in. Stringent requirements ensure that these fireplaces not only burn cleanly, but that they are located in rooms of sufficient size to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air is always available for the combustion process.

One of the largest by-products of gas combustion is water vapor. And although most of the water vapor evaporates or is exhauster out of the unit, some of it remains within your gas fireplace and in turn, casues rust.
