Gas Fireplace Inserts... A New Wave!
Use this search feature to quickly find the information you're looking for.
A new wave of gas fireplace inserts has hit the marketplace . . . . . . .
Riding the crest of that wave are designs which feature sand, beach stones, shells and driftwood, in lieu of gas logs.
As with
wood burning fireplace inserts,
gas inserts are designed to fit
within existing masonry fireboxes to improve energy efficiency and reduce
air pollution - both indoors and out. However, from an aesthetic stand- point,
the use of gas as a fuel has opened up another whole arena of new and imaginative
design options, as inserts begin to emulate the appearance of leading designs
for gas fireplaces, such as the stunning example below.
Now, in addition to creating new looks for the face and frame of the insert,
designers are able to design the fire, itself, with a variety of unusual flame
patterns . . .
and unconventional fuel bed materials. No longer relegated solely to the
ubiquitous gas log set, the gas fueled insert can be fitted with gravel, peb- bles,
twigs, glass crystals, and a variety of geometric shaped ceramic stones to achieve
a wide range of unique and dramatic looks.
The following images reflect a sampling of the new wave of products available
today in a variety of both traditional and contemporary styles. Compared to their
predecessors, they elevate gas insert design to a whole new level!
Due to the nature of the fuel, both gas fireplaces and
gas inserts
are among the leaders in cutting edge design. Brace yourselves for a host of exciting new products in the not too distant future, as this is only the beginning!
