MEMBEA BROKE

It is no surprise that there
is at least one fireplace in 65
percent of the single-family
dwellings being built today.
In fact, according to a lead-
ing fireplace journal, there
are more than 22 million
fireplaces in existence
throughout the United
States. A recent home build-
er's poll rated fireplaces
among the top four features
home buyers insist on.

But, what is surprising is
that 90 percent of all higher-
priced homes ($100,000 or
more} now under construc-

tion, have more than one ;:

fireplace aad that the
second fireplace is more
often than not, being put in
the bedroom.

A Houston, Texas, buil-
der found that homeowners
were using their bedroom
fireplaces and/or wood-
burning stoves to take the
chill off the air, rather than
turning on the main heating
system for the entire house.
“When electrical current
was lost last winter in rural
areas because of falling ice
downing lines, il was the
trusty fireplace and old
wood-burning stove that
got many Texans through
the winter,’ he explained.

That story was echoed in
many parts of New England
arid the Midwest. In the
warmer states, such as Flor-
ida, builders reported that
fireplaces and wood-burn-
ing stoves were being used

to take the dampness out of

the hause.
From the West Coast —

that bastion of avant-garde
lifestyles — came this re-
port: one innovative South-
ern California architect
designed a sunken, seating
area around his client's
whirlpool bath in the master
bath, and heated it with an
open fireplace. Topping off
this piéce de résistance, was
a set of sce-through pyrex
doors leading from the
master bedroom into the
bath, enabling the ambience
of the glowing fireplace to
be enjoyed from the bed-
room as well.

This same architect also
saw a definite increase in thé
bedroom fireplace, “This
trend will continue to

’ grow,’” he predicted, “as

more and more parents seek
a retreat from the tradi-
tional, ‘catch-all family
room.”’

Whether or not you are
secking a parent retreat; or
more adventurously, a
heated area in front of your
bath; or, in a more practical
vein, ways to cut down the
heating bill; or perhaps, just
the warmth and beauty of
an old-fashioned fireplace
in the quiet of your bed-
room — it is within your
reach.

Pre-built fireplaces with
zero clearance, free-stand-
ing fireplaces and stoves, as
well as fireplace inserts,
have brought man’s love al-
fair with the fireplace into
the realm of every home,

Pre-fabricated, built-in

means the fireplace may be
installed on or against exist-
ing walls, in a corner, or
even between two rooms,
serving as a room divider.
Knocking out walis and
other extensive remodeling
is not necessary, nor is it
necessary to build a founda-
tion under the unit. How-
ever, if you want to be able
to view the fire from your
bed, you will have to elevate
the firebox about two feet:
off the floor or raise the
hearth,

Another nice feature is
that the homeowner can
face pre-built units with a
variety of materials compa-
tible with his or her bed-
room decor, such as brick,
stone, stucco, or even panel-
ing. Gas-log sets also can be
installed in zero clearance
fireplaces, However, the
Fireplace Institute recom-
mends that you check first
with your area’s building
codes, Instructions for
proper venting and installa-
lion are supplied by the fire-
place manufacturers.

Free-standing fireplaces
or wood-burning, sloves are
another option, Styles range
from ultra-modern to ‘Ben
Franklin’ types. However,
free-standing units must be
placed on a heat-resistant
platform or base, and place-
ment in the room will de-
pend on the material of the
adjacent walls, Proper
clearance from combustible
and non-combustible wall
materials are specified on
each unit.
