Fireplaces are in
Date: 15.04.2007
Anyone who did not heat with a fireplace in his or her cabin or cottage this year is now flirting with the idea of building one as soon as possible. Homeowners have the same wish.
Gas fireplaces
Sitting by the hearth can be not only pleasant, but also economical. This possibility is only true for gas fireplaces. “They have not yet established a tradition in the Czech Republic. For this reason these products are exported mainly to Western Europe, with the greatest demand in Belgium and England,” explains Ing. Bartoš. It is, however, clear that Czech consumers sooner or later will find out that it is worth it. After all it has already happened in England, where a flickering fire is as much a tradition as carefully prepared tea…
Gas fireplaces, in comparison to those which burn solid fuel, have numerous advantages – just as the real English “tea” in comparison with tea bag mixes. Although both types of fireplaces are similar from the outside, the use of gas as a fuel allows for very precise regulation. The built-in electronics make it possible, in contrast with classic fireplaces, to very easily set the required temperature in a room. They can be regulated by remote control, which achieves maximum convenience for their operation. “Gas fireplaces heat up to 180 cubic meters and their operation is not expensive. At a full 8.9 kW output, one hour of operation costs CZK 10,” explains Ing. Václav Bartoš.
Built in gas fireplaces do not compromise the romance of a classic wood fireplace in any way. The gas flame burns among special ceramic logs, creating a perfect illusion of burning logs. You can see for yourself at your next visit to your sales office in Český Brod that the appearance of the fully glass “doors” (they can also be arched) is fully comparable to a wood-burning fireplace.
An additional clear advantage of gas fireplaces is the fact that the very elegant product requires only a chimney insert. Gone is the need to get, store and prepare wood, and also to remove ashes, and the dust and dirt related to it. Making a fire in a gas fireplace is a question of just a few seconds. You can easily enjoy the comfort and romance of a pleasantly blazing fire every day.
