What is the Ideal Fireplace Insert Style for My Home?
People have their styles in everything; fireplace inserts are no different. So, what does style refer to when it comes to fireplace inserts? In the case of eFireplaceStore, we refer to style when we talk about the viewing aesthetics of a fireplace or fireplace insert. What are the options? Let's break them down and talk about each of the three.
- Traditional: A traditionally styled fireplace insert will feature some kind of log or faux log media and a log grate. Traditional fireplace inserts may also have different brick liner options to give them that "real" fireplace look.
- Contemporary: Contemporary fireplace inserts feature black, shiny interiors and glass or other non-log media. Options for interior lighting and other modern upgrades can give them a little something extra. All of these components work together to emphasize the clean lines and sleek designs that also make contemporary fireplace inserts popular.
- Bay Front: Many fireplace inserts have begun emulating the appearance of wood stoves, leading to quite a few adapting to have a bay window front. Many enjoy this style thanks to its three viewing angles, which give a more 3D fire experience.
Now that we've covered view type, we can discuss the next step is finding the correct fireplace insert for you. Let's talk about ignitions!
