Since ancient times, the warmth and comfort of the home has always been associated with the open fire of the home, with firewood burning in the fireplace. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to equip a real fireplace in a city apartment. But even here modern advances in technology and design art come to the rescue. Electric fireplaces for the apartment allow you to create not only the absolute illusion of open fire, but also an additional source of heat in the house.
What are electric fireplaces?
Manufacturers of household appliances offer a choice of a fairly large number of types and models of electric fireplaces. And it is very difficult to determine which electric fireplace to choose for you. First, you need to decide which types of electric fireplaces will best blend in with the overall interior solution of the room. They are distinguished according to the following types:
- Outdoor (or portable, separately standing anywhere in the room);
- hinged (mounted on the wall);
- built-in (or wall-mounted).
The best aesthetic qualities are, of course, electric fireplaces built into the wall, creating an absolutely realistic effect. Manufacturers also offer different options for facing the front of the fireplace: from inexpensive plastic, wooden and ceramic to exclusive options from natural marble and hand-casting.
The cost of your "home" largely depends on the level of realism of the flame and the availability of additional functions, such as adjusting the heating power, the presence of a humidifier and air fragrance, remote control and others.
How to choose an electric fireplace?
First of all, it is necessary to determine the maximum price and type of future decoration of the room.
Before electric fireplaces were created basically only in classical style. Now the design of electric fireplaces is as varied as possible, which makes it possible to integrate it into the interior of absolutely any style. The color, the material of the outer panel, the dimensions and proportions, the quality of the fire simulation, the stylistic solution - the choice is almost unlimited. One should not forget about choosing electric fireplaces - the dimensions of the room should be in harmony with the dimensions of the fireplace.
