Fireplace Insert Styles To Accent Your Home
Although fireplace inserts are an artificial modernization of the old home and hearth style of heating, a high level of craft and elegant inspiration can create visuals that expand upon nature and dance within technology. The natural world is beautiful, but if you want options that mimic nature, styles that touch on newer artistic movements, or a mixture of both, here are a few fireplace options to help you understand what you can pick and how you can rearrange the design.
Autumn Spice Finish And Ceramic Logs
A dark, refined finish that trails across each wood seam and carving. This fireplace delivers warmth through a luxury cabinet that ties together dark, cozy, Cimmerian wood-toned rooms.
Dual fuel systems can take both liquid propane and natural gas, making it easier to switch between supplies when fuel prices change or you're not happy with a particular kind of burn.
Temperature control allows intensity management, delivering different levels of easing warmth or just a light, toasty atmosphere based on fuel delivery. Depending on the style, the temperature control may also boost the flame visual or the intensity of the embers.
Ceramic fiber logs can rest within a wire mesh frame, allowing a warm, retained heat that flows through the logs while maintaining a welcoming warmth after the system turns off. These aren't random logs; many fireplace insert kits include numbered and pinned logs to help you plan placement that matches your aesthetics.
Mimicked Ember Technology
Many modern fireplace inserts are designed with a sharp, exacting and balanced design that resembles minimalist design or contemporary design that follows geometric patterns.
Some fireplace design companies have been experimenting with topaz and other stones to deliver a shimmering, sparkling bed of flaming embers that absorb warmth while giving a hot glow. Topaz specifically has an orange, caramel, brown, or similarly-tinted appearance that gives off a more ember-like glow when introduced to a light source.
Glass is used in the budget line of fireplaces, but unless the glass is scored or scratched to create textured light, there won't be many changes to the light source. Instead of using glass that simply reflects the flame colors or colored ceramics, you can add river rocks for a more dramatic combination of color.
Speak with a fireplace insert and residential heating professional to discover not only new and elegant designs, but to figure out which designs include features that will keep your home comfortable as efficiently as possible.
