Fireplace Designs That Will Enhance the Look of your Living Room

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:28:34 +0000

While we all love the sight of a roaring hot fire there are lots of different fireplaces that you will find. These many different fireplace designs are in their own way quite lovely to look at. You will see many great looking designs for fireplaces in old homes and also in stores that design and build these fireplaces.

The main fireplace designs that we are acquainted with are those of the large square fireplace type. You will however find other types of fireplaces. The design shapes of some these fireplaces can be in the modern look of electric fireplaces. With these fireplaces you will find that a small cubicle has been made in the wall. The cubicle is square in design shape.

The various wires that are needed to connect this fireplace to the electricity mains will be located behind the fireplace. You will also find that the front face of the fireplace resembles logs. This is just one of the fireplace designs that will enhance the look of your living room without having to worry about the possibility of ashes. You can also look for other fireplace designs in catalogs for your home.

While looking for various fireplace ideas is one of the best ways to choose the type of fireplace you would like to sit before you will need to think about some other matters first. The first detail you will need to consider is whether you wish to have a wood burning fireplace or a gas fireplace. You can even think about installing an electrical fireplace. This decision needs to be at the top of your plans for fireplace designs.

The next item that you should think about is where you will need a fireplace. Also in what section of the room should the fireplace be installed? While these questions may seem trivial there are good reasons for having these questions answered before you start the building process. The main reason is simply having an idea about the dimensions you require your new fireplace to have.

Sometimes when you are looking at the many fireplace designs that abound you will see brick fireplaces with jutting out mantels made of faux wood. At other times you will see fireplaces that have never been used – these fireplaces are lined with white marble – they are merely for decorative purposes. Other fireplace designs that are now in use are tile fireplaces.

The tiles that are selected for these fireplaces are very beautiful. They help to reflect the fire and the heat in a way that we will find comforting. These are just a few of the many fireplace designs you will find. As you search for the perfect fireplace for your home take a moment to think about the look and feel you want from a fireplace and then you will know which of the fireplace designs to look for.

Fireplace Designs That Will Enhance the Look of your Living Room

Wood Burning Fireplaces

admin — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:11:29 +0000

If you've never had a wood burning fireplace in your home, then I say you're seriously missing out. Then again, if you've had a wood stove, it's fairly similar. Personally I prefer a wood burning fireplace because it offers such a wonderful comfort to a family room. You can kick back with your loved ones, toss another log on the crackling flame, and watch the wood burning fireplace dance about in the dim room as you enjoy a good movie. It's totally relaxing and not really the same as forced heat. I mean don't get me wrong; forced central heating is great, but it's also outstanding to have a wood burning fireplace complimenting your home's interior. Hey, if you don't already have one, you could have one installed.

The first time I was exposed to a wood burning fireplace was probably around age 6. I was visiting my aunt's house, which was a rare occasion at best. Anyway, my cousin and I decided to sleep on the living room floor, next to the wood burning fireplace. It was just so relaxing. My father had dumped a massive log on it for the night and closed the safety screen so that nothing could jump out and start a fire. This is always crucial if you have a fireplace or wood stove. You absolutely must make certain that you keep an eye on it and keep the safety screen in front of it. You don't want a red-hot coal leaping out onto the carpet. This could mean the end of your home or worse. Not that a gas fireplace is completely safe either. I mean come on; we're talking about gas. This always makes me imagine the gas leaking and the house exploding. I will stick to my cozy wood burning fireplace, thank you.

I just purchased a cord of wood for the winter. This is plenty for our wood burning fireplace since it's more of an amenity than it is a necessity. We do have central heating, so there is no reason to try and heat our entire home with the fire place. This would require a more efficient wood burning fireplace. These are not difficult to come by in this day and age. If you are interested in costs and estimates, then I suggest you get online for some current prices. Maybe a wood burning fireplace could compliment your home.

Wood Burning Fireplaces

Wood Burning Fireplace

admin — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:15:21 +0000

There is nothing that brings memories of winters gone by better than a wood burning fireplace. The atmosphere a simple item like this can create is one of nostalgic warmth and comfort. Not many homes have a wood burning fireplace but there is a move towards recreating this traditional element in homes across the country.

Generations ago people did not have any other way to heat their homes aside from their wood burning fireplace. As advances in technology and home construction took hold fewer and fewer homes came equipped with this necessity of years gone past. Furnaces made the wood burning fireplace practically obsolete.

Some homes still had the element in their structure because they were built during a time when fireplaces were necessary to heat the rooms of the home. In fact, many older homes had a wood burning fireplace in nearly every room. As the need for this heating source dwindled so did the production of such elements.

When I was a child my family moved into an old Victorian home. At the time I didn’t know why certain part of the wall in some rooms stood out. My mother explained that there used to be a wood burning fireplace in many of the rooms. This was how the original owners kept the house warm.

Later, a furnace was placed in the old Victorian home that served to heat the entire house without the nuisance of having to start a fire and keep it going all day and all night long. The owners of the home had each wood burning fireplace filled and covered with plaster. The magnificent fireplaces stayed behind the plaster for many, many years.

That is until we moved into the house. My mother decided that we should enjoy the appearance of the wood burning fireplace in our living room. She took a hammer to the plaster and began chipping away. My brother and I were more than happy to join her as her wrecking crew.

We found that the wood burning fireplace was made entirely of brick. The previous owner poured cement into the chimney to close the space. We would never be able to have a fire but we could enjoy looking at the beautiful brick structure. My parents built a lovely mantle for the non-working wood burning fireplace that really brought the whole look together.

We moved out of the old Victorian home years ago but I remember dreaming of the original owners sitting in front of their wood burning fireplace.
