Everyone loves the aesthetics of a fireplace in their home, but building a fireplace has several disadvantages. First they are expensive to construct and if the fireplace is a wood burning fireplace it does very little to heat the home.

A gas fireplace is much more practical than a wood burning fireplace and cost a great deal less. But there is another alternative and that is placing a wall mounted heater inside a fireplace surround. It looks just like the real thing and will provide sufficient heat to make it worthwhile. In addition, a faux fireplace can be installed after the house is constructed.

Look at our “Building a Faux Fireplace Video” and learn how easy it is to build a faux fireplace in your home. A faux fireplace can add a lot of charm to your home.
