There are a few options for updating your fireplace. First you need to determine if you have a masonry fireplace, a factory built fireplace or a direct vent fireplace.
To start with a masonry fireplace; you will have a brick or stone fireplace and a masonry style chimney. These fireplaces are built with brick an mortar and most commonly have a metal damper in the fireplace. Homeowners burn firewood occasionally and leisurely. Often we have the homeowner who is looking to improve the heat in the fireplace and also they are looking to have a fire with out all the work. A gas insert will substantially increase the heat output and ease of use while upgrading the look of the fireplace.
A factory built fireplace or zero clearance fireplaces are manufactured fireboxes that are built in framed walls with a variety of finish material. These fireplaces you will have 2 options for improvement. As long as the fireplace is a functioning wood fireplace a gas insert can be added. A gas insert will offer and updated look, ease of use and efficient heat. The gas insert will not require new finish material on the face of the existing wood burning fireplace. Simply, you will update the look and function of your wood fireplace easily by adding a gas insert.
Finally, if you have a direct vent gas fireplace and it needs to be updated you can change the existing fireplace. Commonly, a remodel is required for a fireplace changeout. Visiting the showroom will assist you with conceptual ideas for the remodeled fireplace. Ideally you will have some ideas when you visit the showroom or we can help you visualize some ideas. Dry stacked stone with a barn beam or a modern linear fireplace are options you have available for the new fireplace in your home.
