Have you researched the benefits of today’s gas logs? Fireplaces are a favorite feature for homeowners, while gas logs provide an added feature for your home that many people enjoy.
Convenience
Lighting gas logs is quick and easy, which means there is little hassle to enjoy a pleasant fire in your home. You might just flip a switch or use a remote control to start a fire. Forget about buying or chopping, seasoning or drying firewood or stacking and storing firewood. No need to worry about spiders and other creatures that may enter your home on logs. Convenience is the number one feature motivating people to switch to gas logs.
Chimney fire prevention
While maintenance and cleaning are still important, gas logs produce far less creosote and soot in the chimney lining. When you enjoy the warmth of a gas fireplace, there is much less risk of a dangerous chimney fire.
Realistic appearance
Today’s gas fireplaces are more realistic than previous efforts to recreate the warm, wood-burning look of fireplaces. Ceramic firewood is molded to mimic wood realistically. Imitation firewood has axe marks, knotholes, branches and natural bark patterns. Some gas fireplaces include glowing embers. There are many different types of firewood available in gas fireplaces, such as walnut, birch, driftwood and oak.
Style
With a wide variety of gas fireplaces to choose from, you are sure to find the right one for your decor. The style of the gas fireplaces is absolutely stunning, including fireplaces that can be viewed from two separate rooms. Many styles include traditional, eclectic, rustic and minimalist.
Environmental protection
Using natural gas or liquefied propane as a gas fireplace produces few pollutants, making gas fireplaces an environmentally friendly option. If you are one of the millions of people who are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the environment, a gas fireplace may be the right choice for you.
