Fireplace Inserts/Arches
A fireplace insert can be inserted into an existing masonry or prefabricated wood fireplace. Fireplace inserts are categorised primarily by the type of fuel used (natural gas, propane, EPA-certified wood, pellet and coal).Fireplace inserts are invariably made from cast iron or steel and most have self-cleaning glass doors that allow the flames of the fire to be viewed while the insulated doors remain closed, making the fire more efficient.
Fireplace inserts are popular with people who have an existing open fireplace and chimney, since they significantly improve both fuel efficiency and heat output while also providing an attractive focal point to a room. The disadvantages when compared to a free standing wood burning stove are that they are more expensive to install and obviously also depend upon there being a usable fireplace and chimney in the first place.
