Western Fireplace has conveniently located Colorado fireplace stores across the state in Avon, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. There are many ways to change the interior design of a home, from decorating the walls and choosing a different paint color, to replacing a carpeted area with a hardwood floor or redesigning the flow of the living space by creating an open-concept main floor. One of the simplest ways to change the ambiance and aesthetic of a living space is to install or replace a fireplace. Whereas appliances like televisions may be hidden from view when not in use, the fireplace is one feature that acts as a focal point at all times, whether or not the fireplace is actively heating the room. Traditionally, a mantelpiece above the fireplace and the area immediately surrounding the fireplace has been used to display some of the most-prized pictures or ornaments. Modern designs and advances in technology allow a homeowner to be creative in their placement of the fireplace, with some models being visible from several rooms, especially if there is an open-concept floor plan. See-through fireplaces such as the Heat & Glo Escape see-through gas fireplace boasts clean lines and an authentic masonry appearance, blending the rustic qualities of stonework alongside the contemporary image of a fireplace that acts as a kind of decorative window through to the room beyond. Anti-reflective glass and a micro-screen mesh do not obstruct the view of the flames, and the gas logs can be illuminated with LED embers as well as accent lighting. The fireplace can heat the immediate area with a fan or a heat management system can be installed to redirect the heat to another part of the home as required. A touchscreen remote or wireless wall switch put control of the fireplace within easy reach. When looking to stock gas logs, the requirements differ from the majority of gas logs bought for standard gas fireplaces. Some of the popular gas logs on sale are designed to be viewed from one side only, and therefore they may not have decorative detail on the reverse side of the log, which would typically be facing the back of the sealed fireplace. When buying a see-through fireplace, it is important to consider the view from all angles, and look for products designed specifically for that purpose.
