Contemporary gas fireplace inserts are becoming a popular choice for homeowners looking for ways to increase the value of their homes. Not only do they look beautiful and enhance the look of the room, but they add warmth and ambience as well.
A Good Choice for Many
Choosing to fit your existing wood burning fireplace with contemporary gas fireplace inserts will work for any home. If you love having the warmth and glow of a fireplace, but don’t like splitting logs, tending a fire or having to sweep and bag ashes, this option is for you. Just think, when you come home from a hard day at work on a cold, snowy night, you can have a fire going with the push of a button instead of having to bring in the logs, get a fire started and hopefully keep it burning. The warmth of a fire and its relaxing glow will be immediate if you have a gas fireplace insert installed.
Styles and Choices
So when you start thinking about a gas fireplace insert, think about what it is. Basically, it’s a log set and burner in a metal box, surrounded by another box that fits inside your existing fireplace. So you have some choices to make regarding its appearance. You’ll be choosing:
* Log set types: This is a purely aesthetic choice. How many logs are in your stack, the arrangement, etc.
* Doors and shrouds: What type of doors do you like? A solid clean piece, a standard three piece shroud or patterned full door shroud are just some of your choices.
* Refractories: Think of these as the surrounding area. Most choose from a brick, stone or enamel finish.
* Trims and Grills: Arch valance, rectangular, screens in chrome, brushed nickel or black are some popular choices for trim and grills.
* Controls: Your remote control can either be an on/off device or a more full functioned remote that will control your thermostat as well. It’s a nice feature to have so you can change the temperature of the room and the heat radiating from the fireplace without moving from your comfortable location on the couch.
