What Type of Fireplace is Best for You?

There are a few things that come to mind when we imagine what the most relaxing evening looks like, and it usually includes a glass of wine, a cozy knit blanket, and our favorite Netflix series.

But, there’s one thing missing from this setup — the perfect fireplace.

Not only will it be the new aesthetic focal point of your home, but the calming ambiance that a fireplace provides will give you the unwinding feeling that you deserve after a long day of hard work. Fireplaces aren’t just a literal house-warming mechanism. They’re a heart-warming accent piece.

So, how do you find the type of fireplace that’s best for you and your home’s overall look? From gas to electric fireplaces, there are a ton of options out there. Read on for a deep dive into all the details you need to know about the different types of fireplaces – we’ll help you find the perfect one.

Gas Fireplaces

First up on the list of types of fireplaces for your home is the gas fireplace. With this option, you can have both the look and feel of a classic wood fire minus the additional effort they sometimes require. If this is what you’re looking for, then gas fireplaces are your best bet — and there’s a huge variety you can take your pick from.

Traditional, slim, large, or small, this type of fireplace comes in all shapes and sizes. When it comes to the type of ventilation, you’ll have plenty of options as well:

• Direct vent units – For combustion gases to be vented directly outdoors, opt for a direct vent unit.

• Vent-free units – This type of fireplace fuels the combustion process with the use of indoor air. However, we would recommend checking your local building codes first, as vent-free fireplaces are not available in select provinces/states.

• Fireplace inserts – These inserts are used to fill in the openings of existing masonry fireplaces.

For example, Napoleon’s Ascent X 36 is a gas fireplace that features a glowing ember bed, realistic logs, and natural rock elements. This is the type of fireplace that will add that extra bit of life to your living space.

The Ascent X 36 offers customizable fronts, trims, and decorative backer panels to suit your style perfectly. Thanks to its top-tier safety barrier and electronic ignition system, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ambiance knowing that the whole family is safe from any hazards, including power failure. Its unique construction ensures safety without obstructing the beauty of the flames.

Wood Fireplaces

There’s beauty in the traditional. With wood-burning fireplaces, you can bring that beauty to your home. Tending to a woodpile may require some additional effort, but when you hear the comforting sound of a crackling fire and smell the subtle scent of wood, it’s all worth it.
