They are usually made of construction materials such as bricks and fireproof cement, which is why we commonly call them masonry fireplaces. Although you can also find cast iron or sheet metal wood fireplaces, usually known as cassette or insert, which can also go inside masonry fireplaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The main advantage of these fireplaces is the fuel they use to heat. Wood is a renewable and ecological material, as well as cheaper than other fuels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, the environment created by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/en\/blog\/wood-burning-stoves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wood fireplace<\/a> is very cozy, which is why it is often used as a decorative element.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gas_fireplaces\"><\/span>Gas fireplaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The main advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/en\/blog\/homes-gas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gas fireplaces<\/a> is that they do not generate waste<\/strong>, so they are cleaner. As they do not produce ash or soot, they can be placed openly without needing to install doors that reduce particles, although they can also be added to prevent the flames from causing any fires.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3138 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peculiaridades-de-los-hogares-de-gas-2.jpg\" alt=\"models of chimneys\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peculiaridades-de-los-hogares-de-gas-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peculiaridades-de-los-hogares-de-gas-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peculiaridades-de-los-hogares-de-gas-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another advantage is that gas fireplaces light up much faster than wood ones, plus the flame can be adjusted much quicker and more effectively.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electric_fireplaces\"><\/span>Electric fireplaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Probably the least known and used, as they tend to be more decorative. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/en\/blog\/fireplaces-electric\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Electric fireplaces<\/a> are very similar to stoves, with the exception that they have the appearance of traditional fireplaces. <\/strong>They often feature a front that simulates burning wood, with fake flames produced by lights, usually LED, which flicker as fire would when consuming logs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Electric fireplaces have no flame, so they are safer. They also do not generate steam or gases, like wood and gas ones do. However, they are the least efficient in terms of energy consumption to emit the same heat as these.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pellet_fireplaces\"><\/span>Pellet fireplaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/en\/blog\/fireplace-pellet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pellet fireplaces<\/a> have also become fashionable. Pellets are a high-energy efficiency recycled material. They are very clean and relatively economical for the performance they offer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3194 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Que-modelos-de-chimeneas-existen-2.jpg\" alt=\"models of chimneys\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Que-modelos-de-chimeneas-existen-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Que-modelos-de-chimeneas-existen-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotfiredoor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Que-modelos-de-chimeneas-existen-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_types_of_fireplaces\"><\/span>Other types of fireplaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are other different types of fireplaces, each with different functions. For example, ethanol fireplaces have become fashionable for placement as decorations and heating in small spaces, an ecological fuel that is usually used in small decorative fireplaces that are placed as centerpieces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Other fireplaces are coal ones, same as the wood ones except that they use coal, which is dirtier. <\/strong>They are usually used in outdoor spaces, like patios, where they take advantage to have barbecues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we have already mentioned in other posts, there are numerous types of fireplaces from which we can choose.
