Electric Fireplaces Create Cozy Moments

Installing a wood burning fireplace is not possible in all homes. Thanks to electric fireplaces, you are able to create the coziness that comes with a crackling fireplace in your living room. Learn here what kinds of electric fireplaces are available, how to install them, and what they can add to your home.

Designs

  • Traditional electric fireplaces are made of white artificial stone or marble and they often feature baroque or antique ornaments. They look great next to antique furniture, or retro style décor.
  • Electric fireplaces with brick designs are made of artifical stones that look like brick walls. They make for a stylish home accessory for country-home décors with rustic furniture made of solid wood.
  • Modern electric fireplaces are on the puristic side. They are made of cast iron or granite, without ornaments, and usually come in black or anthracite tones.

Installation Types

In contrast to a wood burning fireplace, the electric variety can be easily installed and saves space.

  • Wall mounted versions: These models are not built into the wall, but screwed to it and can be set up anywhere. Once they are installed, however, it can be quite difficult to move them.
  • Pre-mounted versions: you can simply remove the packaging and start operating them wherever you desire.
  • Electric fireplaces with wheels makes flexible use possible and are a great choice if you like to re-arrange your furniture.

Special effects

  • Sounds: Crackling sounds make it seem as though you are sitting in front of a real fire.
  • Smoke: This additional feature is created using water steam.
  • Heating: In addition to visual flames, these fireplaces also provide heat. Usually, they have a built-in thermostat.
  • Dimmer: Determine the brightness of your flame at any given moment.
  • Remote conrol: Regulate the fireplace from the comfort of your sofa.

Electric fireplaces offer nearly all features of a real fireplace. Their advantage: You do not need a chimney, wood, or licenses. These electric appliances are a functional and cost-efficient (starting from 100 Euro) alternative to the original – also great for summer homes or cabins.

Now, all you need is a bear skin rug, because electric fireplaces provide coziness without the need to burn wood.
