Fireplaces

A fireplace is a structure designed to contain a fire safely within a building, primarily used for heating, ambiance, or cooking. It typically consists of a firebox where the fire burns, a chimney or flue to vent smoke outside, and often a mantel or surround for aesthetic appeal. Modern fireplaces can be fueled by wood, gas, or electric sources. They provide warmth, create a cozy atmosphere, and can serve as a focal point in a living space. Proper installation and maintenance are essential for safety and efficient operation.
