Why is it worth installing a fireplace at home?
The fireplace has always been associated with the warmth of a home fireplace. It is a gathering place for family parties and an ideal place for romantic evenings. The incandescent flame and the smell of wood added to the fireplace fill you with childhood memories and soothe your shattered nerves.
Another advantage is undoubtedly raising the prestige of the interior of the house - stylish fireplaces will make the space take on character. Depending on your preferences, we can both display them and make them an integral part of the room.
Installing a fireplace also allows for some kind of independence in situations that require it. During a power failure - both short-term and longer-run, we can be sure that the heating of the house will not be disturbed.
It is also an additional source of heating, especially in transition periods - at the beginning of spring or autumn. The fireplace will allow you to maintain thermal comfort with large daily fluctuations in outside temperature. Thanks to the correct definition of dimensions and parameters, we will be sure that the room will not be overheated. Easy-to-clean fireplaces additionally encourage you to buy. New solutions allow for quick and trouble-free cleaning.
Ecology of fireplaces - clean wood as fuel
Wood is an ecological source of heat that can be used to heat your home. There are many arguments behind it, why this raw material should be our first-class choice. Guided by ecological reasons, it is worth noting the following:
- It is a renewable resource, which means that with rational forest management, its resources will not end. In addition, the carbon dioxide balance when burning wood is zero - it releases as much element as the tree absorbed during its growth.
- Supports energy independence and "energy awareness" - choosing this source of energy, we become independent from the power supplier. In individual situations, such as a power failure, we can still enjoy the heat obtained from the fireplace. The "energy consciousness" is created each day when you prepare as much wood as is actually needed to heat your home. We become a responsible consumer and take care not to waste any raw materials.
- Wood heating is now "cleaner" than in previous decades - most wood burning fireplaces on the market emit 4.5 grams of dust per hour, while the best ones even below 1.5 grams per hour.This is a huge difference compared to the 1980s, where the dust limit ranged from 30-60 grams per hour.
