Fireplace

home · heat · safety

Built from strong materials. Fireplaces are made from brick, stone, or metal because these materials can handle the intense heat from burning wood without catching fire themselves.

Keeps homes warm. The main job of a fireplace is to heat up the room or entire house on cold days, making it a cozy spot for families to gather.

Creates nice feelings. Even when you don't need the heat, people love fireplaces because the flickering flames and warm glow make a space feel peaceful and special.

Heat efficiency varies. Different fireplace designs heat homes in different ways, so some are better at keeping warmth inside your house than others.
