How about a wood-burning stove?
Comments (17)we're also in scotland and in a new house (well new to us). it's a victorian semi and although it has gas central heating we've wanted a stove for ever so are getting one fitted at the end of october in our living room. my dad and sister both have them and neither of them but wood. just blown over trees and like (with the council's permission). we'll have to buy our first lot of seasoned wood for this winter but after that are hoping to follow in their footsteps. hope to be able save a bit on our gas bills too....See MoreWood burning stove, or the ease of a gas fire?!?!
Comments (4)Nothing beats the romantic flickering flames of a real fire. There's something magical and timeless in having a wood burning stove with its unrivalled warmth and furnace-like glow. Add to this the aroma of a log scented room, the crackles from the fire, and seasoned wood alight with its hypnotic white-hot centre! Dreamy! The final ingredient... a large mug of hot chocolate... Just wow! Who would want gas or Indeed television for that matter?...See MoreKitchen Woodburner Stove ideas
Comments (14)Hi Minnie, thanks for your lovely comments. Our supplier has suggested brick slips so am just about to google them! Yes the existing fireplace is nice but always looks cold to me. I have chosen a lovely light grey coloured log burner that I think will brighten up the fireplace instead of the black surround that is currently there but I take your point of unlit log burners looking cold too! I had also thought about an oak mantle and have seen some very nice ones but thought I would wait until the chimney has I been opened up to see final effect. I also take on board your comments regarding adding texture and colour and struggle with this, on the one hand during the day when the room is bright I love the 'minimal' look and the black tops look lovely and reflect daylight and I don't like any clutter and try and keep them clutter-free but in the evening the black granite tops and splashbacks do seem dark although we have recently installed more spotlights which has helped. Thanks again for your helpx...See MoreGas fireplace or wood-burning fireplace
Comments (19)Hi, yes they're actual flames with all the natural movement and variation you'd expect (and the volume of flames/heat output is controllable with it being gas). When the stove is set up, there are ceramic 'logs' and embers positioned (that do look very realistic) and also some stuff that looks like wire that they call Emberglow. This wiry stuff is near invisible and spread/clumped at the bottom and this causes the flames to vary and lick and dance upwards. We were worried a fake wood burner would look naff and were disappointed when we knew we couldn't have the real thing, but went to see this in action in a showroom and were impressed! It helps that the model we have also comes as a real wood burner and the cast body is identical for both....See MoreBeacon Stoves
