A real woman, the keeper of the hearth, always wants to make her house comfortable, such where you want to hurry after work, where it is pleasant to spend evenings with a family and meet guests. It happens that everything in it seems to be good-both expensive wallpapers and solid furniture, even design, but still something is missing-that very home-made hearth. What a pleasure to sit with your family in the twilight of a fireplace, look at the scanning flames and discuss how the day passed. Unfortunately. In modern typical apartments, making a real fireplace is simply unrealistic – it is not even a matter of its high cost, but in the technical impossibility of installing it.
Great solution – electric fireplaces. They have a number of advantages in comparison with conventional wood: they are easy to buy, just install (just connect a fireplace to the power supply), they are fireproof, are convenient to use (you do not need to buy firewood and clean the ash). An electric fireplace in an apartment is not only an interior element, but also additional heating equipment, since most modern models are able to maintain a certain temperature in the room.
But still the main function of electric fireplace is the decoration of the house. In order for an electric fireplace in the interior to look harmonious, you need to pay attention not only to the fireplace itself, but also to its cladding and ornament, although now such a large selection of models of decorative fireplaces is that it is not difficult to choose the right style in style. You can independently lay out the lining of a fireplace made of natural stone, and only then integrate only the electrician itself in it – it will look like a real fireplace.
What should you pay attention to before buying:
1. Size: Think about whether the chosen fireplace will occupy too much useful space in the room. If the apartment is not enough, then pay attention to the corner electrical fireplaces.
2. Pay attention to the material, as some sellers give out artificial materials for natural ones, which does not affect the price of the fireplace in the best way. It is best to study the market in advance and at least about to navigate in prices, so as not to be subsequently deceived.
3. If you want a more realistic species, then choose electric fireplaces not with transparent, but with a matte and slightly “smoked” glass that will create the illusion of a real fire.
4. Do not forget that electric fireplaces are also a heat source, so it should cope well with the heating function. The power should be at least 2 kW, which is quite enough for heating 20 square meters.
5. If the funds allow, then look at the fireplaces that have additional functions such as the Albany Dimplex electric fireplace. Dear models have a thermostat that maintains a constant temperature, the remote control, they are also equipped with several heating and flame intensity modes, and additional bonus is aromatic inserts and speakers from which the sound of crackling logs is heard.
