“Heat cannot be separated from fire, ..."

or beauty from The Eternal.” ~ Dante Alighieri

Wishing you had the warmth and ambiance of a fireplace? Here are some new products that may alter your perception of what a "fire place" is all about. It is a lot simpler to have one than you may be aware… and depending on the model of your choosing, may not even require venting, construction or remodeling! Not only that, they are a new generation of eco-friendly; and with the range of styles, you can find one suitable for your interior.

You will see from the photos the possibilities: limited only by imagination... When you look at the photos, I want you to take the concept and then visualize how it could be, using other materials and finishes to customize it to your own style. Whether contemporary, traditional or in between...this is a great tool to create some fabulous effects.

The following photos of the Ecosmart Fire shows some great examples of customized "surrounds" or ready made. The concept of the fire box, is just that. You can purchase the box kits if you would like to design your own "surround" or select from the growing number of styles that are offered. Depending on the design, you may use single, double, triple, or ribbon style fuel boxes. This is where you can get real creative... it can be as traditional or contemporary as you want. You can also retro fit it into an existing fireplace opening.

This is the "guts" of the fire place... offering endless design possibilities!
