Considerations associated with fireplace designs

The fireplace serves a basic useful function - to provide heat for the people living in the house. However, this need has evolved over time. Today, homeowners don't just want heat for their homes. They also want the fireplaces to fit into the overall design of their beloved homes. That means design of the fireplace is becoming more and more important to homeowners. When considering to remodel a fireplace, there are two important considerations.

The first consideration is the overall appearance of the fireplace. Homeowners will have to decide on the materials that the fireplace will be built with. There are many different types of designs - contemporary designs for a more modern look, brick designs for a more rugged look and so on. The overall appearance of the fireplace largely depends on the building materials. Fireplaces can be made from stone, brick, rock or masonry. Each type of material has its own distinctive characteristics.

After deciding on the materials, homeowners will then have to decide on the burning fuels. When fuels burn, they emit smoke and there needs to be proper ventilation in the home to get rid of the smoke efficiently. The traditional burning fuel for fireplaces is wood. But wood is not always a convenient fuel. So some homeowners may decide to use gas as an alternative fuel source. Gas can be transported through pipes into the home. It burns cleanly and does not emit smoke. It is therefore, the preferred energy source for those who may be sensitive to allergic to smoke.

Then there are fireplaces that exist purely for decorative purposes. In other words, heat is no longer an important function of the fireplace. The appearance of the fireplace becomes first priority. For example, some electric fireplaces do not emit heat efficiently. But because they can display flames that look like real fire, some homeowners place them in their homes purely for aesthetic reasons. Such fireplaces simulate real fire burning in the home. But because it is only a simulation, there is no risk of polluting the air. Ventilation is also not required.
