The magic of fall is upon us, and there’s nothing quite like snuggling with your favorite person or four-legged friend once the temperatures take a cooler turn. If you’re re-thinking your home fireplace setting this season, stop by Casual Furniture World in Winston-Salem!
Every element of their inviting showroom makes shopping a pleasure, and it’s always a plus to view gas logs, wood stoves and electric fireplaces in person before choosing what’s right for your home. At Casual Furniture World, you’ll find the largest display of gas logs and fireplaces in the Triad – along with videos set up to educate customers on easy and safe operation.
“These purchases are usually a two-part process,” explains Winston-Salem Store Manager Ken Smith. “Most people don’t know exactly what they already have – and what they might be looking to replace. There are so many code restrictions involved in navigating these products. Clients may first come in and browse the options and then we put together a measure sheet to send home with them to gather more details.”
Determine what best fits your space and decide if you want to achieve actual heating or if aesthetics is more your goal. Then, think of Casual Furniture World as your one-stop shopping destination, as they will also do estimates for gas line installations and complete yearly inspections on your fireplace purchases. Yearly inspections by seasoned Casual Furniture World technicians typically start in September, and service requests can be conveniently completed online.
“We recommend a routine check-up for your gas logs once a year,” says Ken. “Servicing gas logs is like servicing your car – proper upkeep will keep these products lasting much longer! If well cared for, gas logs and fireplaces can last for many years.”
The team is definitely noticing that customers are focusing on efficiency, and they can offer you expert advice on choosing between vented or vent-free gas log sets to create a warm, inviting space. The popular Carolina Campfire vented gas logs set features Radiant Heat technology allowing you to have the most realistic log set with warmth mirroring that of a real wood fire. The most popular vent-free option is currently the Berkley Oak Refractory cement log set, offering fine detail and hand-painted beauty on each of the seven logs included.
“You’ll find that vented gas logs are typically the most realistic and produce more of a dancing flame, in an orange/yellow shade,” Ken explains. He adds that electric fireplaces are the fastest growing segment in indoor fireplace options and have a much more realistic appearance than in the past. Electric versions are typically selected more for ambiance, not to actually provide heat for your space.
You’ll also find an attractive selection of glass doors to refresh your fireplace set-up, in a variety of colors, right inside the Casual Furniture World showroom! Virtual showroom tours are also available online, delivering an immersive experience that lets you view available choices, while envisioning how to best update your current living space for those wonderful cool days ahead.
