Is the purchase of the fireplace in your future? There are lots of possibilities depending on your needs, where you intend on adding the hearth, and your allowance. Below are some things to think about and consider. 1) Can be your fire going to be in a new home youre making or are you adding someone to an existing home? While you probably expect, its easier to put in a fireplace if youre building a new home or putting one in a supplement youre putting on. If you are adding anyone to an existing home, you should think about the following. Is there an existing fireplace I will use for ventilation and is-it in very good condition? If I dont have a fireplace to work with for venting will there be anywhere I can place the hearth such that it can directly vent outside? Or am I considering a fireplace? 2) What sort of fireplace do you want? Do you want a wood-burning fireplace (http://www.fireplacesinfo.com/wood)? The chimney must be in good working order, If you're venting your fire by way of a chimney. If you dont have a chimney or if it will be extremely expensive to obtain the chimney working effectively another option for venting your wood-burning fire is with a primary venting system. An immediate ventilation system may be used on nearly any area with an outer wall. Would you choose a gas fireplace rather than a wood-burning fireplace? A gas fire lets you prevent the chaos and work of burning wood and can both be vented through a chimney, direct-vented or possibly even using a vent-free system. 3) Be cautious if considering a vent-free fireplace. Putting a fireplace to an existing house is an attractive option to a lot of people because theres no need to be worried about having a fireplace or having to have another wall-to place the immediate vent. And because theres no venting to the surface, theres no heat loss. If you are contemplating a vent-free fireplace however, take note of these appropriate functions procedures from the research department of the American Gas Association: only use the fireplace for brief periods of time (less than 4 hours at a time ); don't use in a tiny limited space; and don't use as the only source of heat.

Added factors with vent-free fireplaces: they can cause excessive moisture; there could be a noticeable smell from your fireplace; and levels are low enough not to be considered dangerous to individuals who are healthy. 4) Yet another fireplace choice is an electric fireplace.

A great place to do research can be a store that sells fire-places and/or fireplace surrounds. Some organizations who focus on selling brick, stone, and tile for fireplace surrounds also offer the fireplace inserts as well. If you visit their showrooms youll have the opportunity to see the fireplaces and some of the fireplace surrounds with different varieties of hearthstones, stone, brick, tile, and mantles. When I was making my home and was searching for fireplace a few ideas I visited my local stone business. They had a lot with more than 20 fuel and wood-burning fireplaces on display. Each fireplace had a different surround that had been developed by a local builder using various kinds of bricks and stones. I-t helped me make my decision on which stone I wanted to buy, the design of surround I wanted, along with the kind of stone I wanted for my hearthstone. Still another good place to do re-search is on the Internet. 6) Make use of a professional. Unless you are getting a power plug and go fireplace or you're a professional in the installation of fire-places, dont try to install one yourself. Because you want to make sure it's installed precisely so the hearth isn't a fire hazard and so there are no dangerous fumes released consult with a professional. A fire can be a wonderful addition to your home. I've a gas fireplace. Its good in order to show on the hearth on cold evenings and enjoy the comfort and warmth it gives. Certainly one of my friends includes a wood-burning fire. They enjoy their hearth as much as I enjoy mine.. |
