Sipping a glass of wine, watching the fire dancing in the night..
Isn’t that what all couples think about they’re purchasing houses with fireplaces. Over the years, the fireplace has been used as the centre of many a social occasion. This is the part of the house where the family can spend hours being together. Playing games, eating, or just plain relaxing! Many people just love the idea of sitting in front of the fire doing nothing. There’s just a certain aspects of a real fire which make it very appealing; the wonderful glowing coziness that it produces adds a special something to a cold, dark winter’s evening!
Given the many types of fireplaces available, be it built from masonry or fabricated with marble or wood, you can be sure there is a fireplace out there that will suit everyone and every home and ensure you get the look that you’re after.
Most fireplaces either need flues or chimneys, for gas or wood fires anyway, but you’d probably struggle to find these on modern houses. With many new houses now using central heating, very rarely would you find built in fireplaces and chimneys. If you aspire to a quiet night of relaxation, sipping wine in front of a crackling fire, but your house lacks one, you might want to try looking into flueless gas fires. These are actually electric fires with a realistic flame. Again there are a wide variety of styles and price ranges to choose from and very much everything is up to your personal choice and budget!
There’s still something magical about the crackling warmth of a fire giving you that feeling of security just makes you want to snuggle up and sleep!
