The Warmth And Comfort Of Wood Fireplaces

Three excellent wood fireplace brands are Heat & Glo, Heatilator, and FireplaceXtrordinair. Each offers several unique styles to fit your home.

Wood fireplaces create a cozy ambiance in any home. The crackle of the wood combined with the warm smells create nostalgia from years gone by, bringing back memories of cold winter nights. It's no wonder that wood fireplaces are still so popular today despite new technology and alternative forms of heating. While there are many brands of wood fireplaces available, three stand out above the rest. Each of these brands has several styles which can be customized to fit your home individually.

Heat & Glo fireplaces offer a variety of styles to match your taste and decor. You could opt for the elegance of a Victorian-style fire or the rustic charm of a country cottage design. If you wish to enjoy the view from two rooms, you may choose the see-though option. Additionally, the Energy Master and Northstar styles are high-efficiency fireplaces, saving you money while heating your home thoroughly. The Northstar, for example, uses 70,000 BTUs (British thermal units), and its emission levels are also very low. This efficiency allows it to be used even where conventional wood fireplaces are not permitted.

Heatilator fireplaces are also versatile for any home. The Birmingham model is a masonry style without the expensive price tag, while the Element has a more traditional appearance. There are several other styles to choose from as well. All of the fireplaces have a wide viewing area, and several can burn for up to 10 hours. The Heatilator brand also has a see-through model for use in multiple rooms. You could choose a brick or wood mantle, depending on your personal preference.

Probably the most advanced fireplace brand available is the FireplaceXtrordinair (FPX), which has two styles. The uniqueness of these fireplaces lies in their Posi-Pressure technology, which takes in air from the outside, heats it up, and circulates it efficiently around your home with a discreet fan. It also repels cold air from seeping in through cracks in window ledges and under doors. Therefore, the entire house is heated by one fireplace. The FPX 36 and 44 Elite are both enclosed fireplaces, but the doors can be opened when you choose to burn wood traditionally rather than use the Elite technology.

While gas fireplaces certainly have their value, wood burning fireplaces evoke a unique sense of warmth and coziness that cannot be matched. The diversity of models makes it possible for you to have one in your home with any design style: modern, traditional, or rustic. Click on this website to find a fireplace showroom in San Diego.
