Gas fitter help here please

We have a very large country kitchen. We are on gas central heating and there is a rad in there but it often feels chilly. Id like to put a heater on the wall so that it can be used in addition or independently of the gas central heating, say in the summer on a chilly evening or whatever.
Ive started looking before I put this to the OHand I am confused about the difference between a balanced flue heater and a flueless heater. Can anyone give me the pros and cons of these please.
Also any recs for a heater up to about 4Kw to be wall hung. I dont really want one that makes a statement, no flickering flames etc., something discreet but modern would be nice to put on the external wall under a window.
Help please or it will be next winter before I even broach the subject with OH as I like to have the options cut down before I speak to him about it.
Cold windows cool the immediate area, cold air sinks to the floor and spreads out tentacle like at floor level like an invisible fog. Modern building and codes mean in most cases this has been eradicated but in a trad farmhouse its still a pre existing truth. An air curtain would not neutralise it but would redistribute it around the room. You would need to consider noise and cost.
