There is nothing more comfortable
and relaxing than sitting by a warm fireplace on a cold winter
day in the Pocono Mountains. A fireplace or woodburning stove
is almost a given when building in this lake region.
The new fireplaces of today are much more efficient
than they used to be. The most popular fireplace is a zero clearance
type with glass doors with an outside air kit and trim kit. Optional
fans can provide additional air movement to maximize heating power.
Depending on the design of your new home, a see-through multiple-sided
unit may be the best choice. Gas fireplaces are also becoming
very popular. Stone or brick facing with a raised hearth all make
for a classic look.
For efficiency, a good quality woodburning stove
is the best choice. Pellet stoves are also becoming big sellers.
The stoves of today can be made of black cast iron or come in
a medium gloss porcelain enamel finish with a wide variety of
colors. Stoves are best set on a brick or stone platform, with
brick or stone facing going up the back wall.
Whether youre looking for an alternate source
of heat or just pure romance, a fireplace or wood- burning stove
is the answer. Let the experts at Mountain
View Homes custom design your new home with the crackling
flames of a new fireplace or stove.
