How to make fireplaces safer

2010-04-07T06:21:00.001-07:00

Fireplaces add a beautiful and classy atmosphere to almost any home, and are often considered to be a wonderful alternative to ordinary heating devices. Here are some simple ways to make sure that your fireplace is safe.

Protecting the inside of your house is our first priority. Sparks here are most dangerous to your structural integrity, and your furniture. It's essential to place smoke alarms on every floor of your home, as the smoke often travels. Check monthly to see that the alarms are still working, and you should also replace the batteries annually.

Part of this is keeping your fireplace tidy to prevent soot build up. At least once a year, you need to have it cleaned by a specialist. This also means keeping your furniture, decorations, or debris away from the edge of the hearth, as sparks can jump surprisingly far. It's a good idea to install a stovepipe thermometer - not only will this let you keep an eye on just how hot things are getting, but it can help you avoid wasting wood, as well.

Next, you have to think about what you're burning. Fact: Not all woods are equal! Using soft woods will cause soot and debris to build up faster, which is more work for you. Use only hard woods, and try to avoid wood with messy sap - if your venting is not adequate this can cause even more dirt to collect in your chimney. Never burn trash or other non-wood items, as the fumes can not only be harmful to your fireplace, but to you, as well. This is especially true for plastic.

Finally, the outside of your home can be just as important as the inside. You'll want to keep your firewood in a pile at least thirty feet away from the walls of your house, as otherwise fires may spread quickly. Inspect your roof frequently and get rid of all debris that could be dangerous if a spark were to hit it - especially dry leaves, pine needles, and other flammable materials. If there are any trees close to your house, the branches should be trimmed to avoid them hanging over or near your chimney.

When your fireplaces are turned off for the warm summer months, simply cool the ashes in water and dispose of them in a metal trash container. This way, it's clean and ready to use whenever you need it again. Keeping your home safe from fire is often as simple as remembering and following these tips.

Four Ideas for Easy Home Design

In the world of home design you have many options. You will want something that says you have style and class, but is also very functional too. The worst possible thing that you could do is to design your home around expression only to have it wasted because your house guests won't appreciate the impracticality of it. For this reason, here are four very easy things you should remember when considering decorative home options:

1) Furniture- while you it is important to have things that fit your personality, you need to have practical, functional furniture. Nobody cares how pretty your living room set is, if they can't actually use it. The same goes for your dining room, and anyplace else where you might have guests.

2) Area Rugs- whether you have carpeted or hardwood floors, you can still benefit from the decorative features of a high-quality area rug. Put it under your couch for a beautiful framing idea or lay a runner down a hallway. Most carpets are somewhat bland in colour, so spruce them up with the multi-coloured design of a throw rug. Perhaps match it with some pillows for a look that is pulled-together, which looks like you spent a lot of time planning.

3) Tapestries- You can also use area rugs as tapestries on blank walls. Not only does this add colour to blank space, it can help to darken a room as well as dampen the sound. It's much easier than painting and installing acoustic panels.

4) Mirrors- yes, mirrors. Put up a mirror at the end of a hallway and it will appear twice as long. Put one up high in a small living space and it will seem like there is more headroom. Mirrors can also help to reflect light around the room which can help to cut down on your electricity bill!
