Nothing is quite as inviting on a cold fall or winter night as a fireplace. The gentle warmth of the fire, licking flames, and crackling logs make for the perfect cozy ambiance. Fireplace design and style has come a long way over the years, leaving you with just about any possibility you can think of for a fireplace including a wide selection of materials and designs for fireplace surrounds, mantels and overmantels, and hearths. Whether you prefer the classic colonial style of a wood mantel over pilasters or the rugged look of natural stone, when you work with an experienced installer of gas or wood burning fireplaces in Draper, UT, you are sure to find a design that fits just what you had in mind.
Pick Your Materials
Whether you prefer to choose from gas or wood burning fireplaces, you have a wide range of building materials to select from for the construction of your hearth, mantel, surround, and overmantel. Dense stone materials such as granite, marble, and slate not only make beautiful surrounds and mantels, but they also store and retain heat well and can continue to radiate heat long after you’ve gone to bed and put out the flames. Smooth stone such as marble and slate makes great hearths, and brick or river rock make classic fireplace surrounds. Of course, nothing quite makes a statement of class like the refined and ornate features of colonial-style wood burning fireplaces.
Convert Your Existing Gas or Wood Burning Fireplace
Do you have an existing fireplace that you want to convert to a different type of fuel source? Many older homes with gas fireplaces in them were originally heated with wood-burning fireplaces that were later converted to gas, making the conversion back to wood easily done. If you have an existing wood burning fireplace, it can easily be converted to gas if you prefer not to have the need to clean out a fireplace and ash box periodically. Whatever your preference, Degrees Above Fireplaces has a solution just for you.
