How to Choose

Choose which type of fireplace you like.

    Choosing the right fireplace has a lot to do with how you envision its use. Are you wanting convenience? See our Gas Vs Wood benefits and drawbacks listed below to help determine what's best for you. Making these choices is the first step in determining what you would like in a fireplace.

    All Ironhaus fireplaces feature beautifully handcrafted enclosures that are both attractive and highly functional. Use our “collections” gallery to help determine which type of style best suits your taste and décor. If you are building or remodeling, consider centering your interior design on maximizing the quality experience all of your living space. Refer your builder or architect to our site to help streamline your construction process.

    Start by selecting your most prominent fireplace focal area; this usually is the great room or the living room. A real powerful statement does well here. Look at the Big Sky wood burning fireplace or the Yellowstone gas fireplace for a large Rumford style, grande statement. The Teton wood burning fireplace or the Selway gas fireplaces are great choices for a room of less grandeur. Use the Ironhaus  configurator to select style choices and finishes etc. Carry the same design ideas throughout your home. See our gallery for popular choices and combinations!
