subject: The Benefits Of Hole In The Wall Fires [print this page] Hole in the wall fires give you the opportunity to have a nice, relaxing fire without ruining your home's sleek and modern decor. Unlike traditional fireplaces, a hole in the wall fire doesn't require a frame. It also doesn't have to be installed at or near the floor. This gives you a huge amount of versatility for displaying the flames.
One good option for bringing this style of fire to your home is to install a Dru fireplace. This company's hole in the wall models can be installed at the traditional height or placed higher on the wall for a prominent and unique display. All that separates a Dru gas fire from the rest of the room is a pane of heatproof glass. This ensures that the line of the wall or chimney shaft is not destroyed by the fire.
For another unique style, take a look at a Faber Glance two-sided fire. This balance flue fireplace fits in a room divider to allow a view of the fire from either side. The effect is more like a hole through the wall instead of in the wall. It's great for placements where light will be able to shine through the opening while the fire isn't active.
Many hole in the wall fires are made with permanent logs for a realistic effect. This is especially the case with balance flue models. If you have a chimney instead, you'll find some other options. Fires by companies like Brilliant offer beds that look like rocks, kindling and other unexpected materials. These are great for ultra-modern homes or as accents that are truly unique.
Another option that is more common in chimney styles is framing. A frame gives a hole in the wall fireplace a picture-like effect, while frameless versions are sleeker.
No matter which options you choose for your fire, there are some aspects that will be basically the same. One of these is the presence of hidden controls. Some units also have remote controls so you can operate them directly from your chair or couch.
Another thing common to all hole in the wall fires is high heat output. Even small Dru fires are able to heat up an average-sized living room. Some units even come with thermostatic controls so you can use the fire in place of your home's standard heating system.
One of these fires will definitely be an enhancement to your home. They have modern styling and high heat output. Best of all, they bring the relaxing atmosphere of a fire into your home with no hassles.
