The linear fireplace may be one of the greatest innovations to ever come out of the fireplace industry. With its wide width and expanded firebox visuals, a linear fireplace adds significant charm and elegance to most any room of the home.
American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, would like to tell you a little about linear electric fireplaces and how easy it is to add one to your home.
What Is a Linear Electric Fireplace?
Linear fireplace design involves stretching out the appliance to widths as great as 20 feet. Where “traditional” fireplaces are only a little wider than they are tall, linear fireplaces allow you to customize just a part of a wall or nearly the entire wall for a sweeping, majestic effect.
Electric Fireplace Visuals
It’s true, an electric fireplace doesn’t produce actual flames, but modern technology from leading manufacturers has given these appliances a look all their own that many people absolutely love.
Options for linear electric fireplace models include:
- Active firebox visuals with a variety of flame and bed colors
- Realistic-looking faux logs that are designed like birch, driftwood, splitwood and other varieties
- Crackling sound effects and dancing “flames”
- Total control of the firebox experience is in your hands
An electric fireplace is a wonderful way to unwind after a busy day, use as a backdrop for entertaining, or just keep running all the time to fill your room with personality and color.
Stable Heat
Depending on the brand and style, electric linear fireplaces can generate a significant amount of heat. A smaller fireplace can easily bring warmth to smaller rooms and spaces, while a more powerful model can serve as a great addition to your home heating system when placed in larger rooms.
Safety
Because there are no flames, electric fireplaces require no annual inspections, cleaning or installation process that meets state and local safety codes.
Versatile Placement
Linear electric fireplaces can be placed in virtually any wall in virtually any room in your home for dramatic effect. Compact models are ideal for instant zone heating in kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms.
