Design Tips

» Give an old fireplace new life by adding a new glass door enclosure or an updated mantle.

» Electric fireplaces provide very little heat, so if you’re looking only for aesthetics, these are a perfect decorative addition to any room.

» Gas fireplaces add heat and beauty to any space. Direct vent technology eliminates the need for a chimney and fumes are exhausted outside — so even those with allergies or asthma can enjoy a clean burning fireplace.

» A wood fireplace insert can fit into an existing masonry fireplace to provide heat and efficiency.
