When choosing an electric fireplace, we must think about the style but also about the size. For every ten square meters you need at least 1 kW, which is the measure that is estimated to choose the power of the fireplace and not fall short. Sometimes power has nothing to do with size, so this will be given rather for aesthetic reasons in the room and for the space we have. Finally, among the possibilities that we have, we can choose different models, since there are recessed, suspended, floor and with different details.

It is a great idea if we want to have it in other areas of the house, although it is not as aesthetic as others. Fixed electric fireplaces are the most common in these cases, since they are models that tend to be more beautiful and elegant.

Built-in fireplaces

Built-in fireplaces usually cost a bit more to integrate into the home. There are several ways to put them and the usual thing is to create panels with plasterboard to put the fireplace there. In our opinion these are undoubtedly the chimneys that they beat the others for aesthetics. If we want to have a fireplace for a long time in a place like the living room, we should definitely choose the built-in type. The design is modern and elegant and gives us the feeling that it integrates perfectly with the environment.
