There is something to be said about traditional fireplaces. However, despite their efficacy and superior aesthetics, there are still some drawbacks to using wood-burning heaters.
But what if home heating technological advancements now provide a way for you to leverage the pros of wood fireplaces while avoiding the cons? What if you could find a device that gives you wood heater performance with the ease of gas? Here are some heater examples which do just that.
The Cypress GS2 is a free-standing gas fireplace whose design very effectively mimics a free-standing wood heater. As a result, it is simple and straightforward to use. Furthermore, it utilises award-winning burner technology to operate at optimum efficacy while presenting the right aesthetic. And if that isn’t enough, it is also a low-maintenance product.
A replacement for small wood heaters
As mentioned above, the Cypress fireplace uses technology to mimic a wood-burning heater. It uses a high-definition log set known as the Ember-Fyre burner that produces truly stunning dancing flames. Consequently, you get to enjoy the visual and topical effects of a hearty fire without the need to source, store and light wood ever again.
Beyond the visual, the Cypress also provides radiant and convective heat- similarly to wood heaters. Radiant heat comes directly from the flame and firebox and reaches you via a straight path. On the other hand, convective heat is a product of super-heated air that propagates through the room or house from surfaces in contact with the fire.
The primary difference between the Cypress and a conventional wood stove is convenience. Control of the Cypress lies in the palm of your hand. The device responsible is a GreenSmart
Identical Interiors Yet Different Exteriors
If you want another viable option, consider the Greenfield. This model both mimics the Cypress- the inside is identical- and differs from it (with a different cosmetic appearance), thus offering you an alternative.
The Greenfield has a more traditional fireplace design. It combines an appealing cast-iron framework with clean lines and pleasing proportionality to create an irresistible appeal. Therefore, it serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose.
Finally, both the Cypress and the Greenfield feature a three-sided glass design that allows you a spectacular view of the flames from numerous angles.
Easy Installation
These free-standing gas fireplaces don’t require any additional supporting structures. Therefore, this makes them easier and cheaper to install. Moreover, without a surrounding enclosure, you gain more positioning options, thus opening up numerous design possibilities.
In addition to placement, these two free-standing gas fireplaces also present versatile venting options. Thus, you can have a rear vent or a top-running flue.
The efficiency and advantages of gas fireplaces are proof positive that you can get the best of a wood heater while enjoying the ease of gas.
