Article Excerpt:

(Expresione fireplace, courtesy of Planika Fires)Janet Ramin - The calendar may have read only October, but the first snowstorm of the season already swiped the Eastern seaboard, from Maine to Maryland, catching many people unprepared. And it’s not even officially winter yet!

As thoughts scurried to winter coats, blankets, and the like, I started to dream about fireplaces … the warmth from the flames, the romantic glow of the dancing amber and red colors. Then I woke up to chilly reality … I live in an apartment that never had fireplaces and never will. But of course, some imaginative minds thought, Let’s solve that!

Enter the “faux” fireplace. They don’t require a chimney flue, gas, or electricity – perfect for apartment dwellers or homeowners stuck without a fireplace. They still work even when a storm blows out your electrical lines. 

(Hearth Cabinet - traditional styling)Hearth Cabinet is one of the manufacturers and as shown in the photos left and below, their fireplaces can fit into any type of interior design style. They can insert their firebox into a traditional style fireplace, with mantel and moulding, and cover its frame with marble.  In the photo below, the hearth cabinet is made with a stainless steel frame and fits into this modern room. Notice that there's wooden shelving built right on top of the Hearth Cabinet – no need for that traditional chimney flue!

(Hearth Cabinet - modern styling)So exactly how do they work? And are they safe?
