The Ventless Gel Fireplace Has Many Design Options

The Ventless Gel Fireplace comes to the house virtually ready to warm your home and give you that cozy feeling. A few simple Do-It-Yourself steps and you have a fire blazing minutes after it arrives at your home. But, you don’t have to think it’s all over at that point.

Your Ventless Gel Fireplace can actually become a major part of your décor. Especially that is if you are willing to build fireplace mantels throughout your home and place your portable fireplaces in them. So, design options are always an interesting aspect to explore.

Stone

Stone can actually be a huge undertaking that can return tremendous rewards. But, because a Ventless Gel requires no chimney and no hearth, the work is easier than you think. Cathedral type mantels that stretch to the ceiling and hug the floor with massive footstools can really add prestige to your Ventless Gel Fireplace arrangements.

Marble

Marble can get rather expensive. With some of the mantels running a smooth $8500, you can have a marble mantel brilliantly placed in your home for about the same cost as a small addition. But, the elegant carvings and beautifully crafted designs will make marble one of the most prominent features in your home.

Wood

Wood mantels are actually the easiest of the design options. Choices of the right woods can make your fireplace look contemporary or take viewers back centuries. Dark woods and light woods, the many different textured woods make choosing a wood mantel the most diverse option of all.

Stucco

Stucco offers a more contemporary look that cleans itself up nicely. But, people find it a problem that stucco is flammable. It’s not really a problem when you consider how Ventless Gel Fireplaces are totally safe, fire and all. The fire stays in the fireplace unlike the traditional fireplace with logs, sparks and fumes. So, enjoy the stucco form and design. You’ll never lose your home over it.

Mosaic

Mosaic tile arrangements are often seen on tables, mirrors and walls. This brings to light that mosaic makes for a great fireplace design option as well. Mosaic tiles can enhance the area above the fireplace mantel as well as the sides. Even the floor in front of the fireplace area makes for a great place to create a mosaic design.

Concrete

Concrete, like stone, can create a massive structure that stretches to the ceiling. In fact, concrete is easier to form and great bases at the foot of the fireplace provide for nice, romantic seating areas. Place your Ventless Gel Fireplace inside and you have a major structure that is warm and cozy from first sight.

The magic of a fireplace is hard to explain, but easy to understand. They provide for great gathering places where families can talk and couples can connect. New design options will always be around. But, you might just find yourself having fun creating some of your own.
