For some, it\u2019s the beauty of an updated hearth that adds a touch of cozy elegance to your home that\u2019s appreciated by your guests. Whatever it may be, these are all good arguments to make fire the center of your home. With data from the US Census Bureau stating that 41% of newly constructed homes have fireplaces, it\u2019s safe to say that household fireplaces are going nowhere. And just like with most trends, what is old becomes new again as wood-burning fireplaces have seen an uptick in popularity in recent years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c175b1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c175b1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What determines fireplace trends?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4c3237 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4c3237\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne thing that sets fireplace trends apart from other home decor trends is the fact that in this product category, trends are determined by the law and building standards. So, while what homeowners want of course plays a role, design choices and requirements are often already decided for us. These requirements take into account both environmental and safety concerns when determining fuel sources, insert styles, and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54a627e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"54a627e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Wood burning is the new trend<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c845ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c845ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Today, wood-burning fireplaces are more than just home heaters, they are a statement centerpiece of the home. They are made in a variety of sizes, accommodating log lengths from 18 inches to over 30 and no matter the style of your home whether traditional or contemporary, there is a wood-burning fireplace perfect for your home.<\/p><p>One thing most modern fireplaces have in common is the glass doors that showcase the flames, allowing it to radiate heat and warm your home even when the power is out. These doors aren\u2019t just for loading wood and watching the fire crackle and flame, but they are the secret to high efficiency and low emissions of these units. Open-face fireplaces allow a large volume of air from the living environment to over-feed the fire and escape up the chimney. This causes the fireplace to burn through more wood than necessary and the living area becomes cold as the air from outside comes in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b03aa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4b03aa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advantages of wood-burning fireplaces<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28646ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"28646ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Heating during power outages<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b404f48 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b404f48\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDuring the cold winter months when ice from snow storms can collect on tree branches, causing them to knock out power lines, a wood-burning fireplace becomes very handy.
