Modern fireplaces focus on sleek, frameless designs, large glass viewing areas, and minimalist aesthetics, making them a perfect fit for contemporary spaces. Traditional fireplaces, on the other hand, are typically portrait or square styled fireplaces and feature brick and stone panels, and classic log sets, and other traditionally styled media and accessories - offering a timeless, cozy ambiance.
Regency’s Designer Gas Fireplaces, like the City Series, bring modern innovation to fireplaces by incorporating invisible safety barriers and cool wall technology for a seamless look.
Upgrading your fireplace can be as simple as swapping out the surrounding materials—think sleek tile, stone, or a minimalist drywall finish. Replacing traditional log sets with driftwood, fire glass, or contemporary rock media also adds a modern touch.
Advancements like cool wall technology, thermostatic remote controls, wifi controls, and frameless glass designs are redefining modern fireplaces. These innovations allow homeowners to install TVs or artwork above the fireplace without heat concerns while enjoying customizable flames and seamless aesthetics.
Regency’s Designer Gas Fireplaces, such as the City Series, integrate safety barriers, heat management systems, and venting innovations, setting a new standard for modern heating solutions.
Regular wood logs should never be used in a gas fireplace. Gas fireplaces are designed for artificial ceramic or concrete log sets or alternative media like fire glass or stones. Burning real wood in a gas unit will damage the system, produce harmful fumes, and create a serious fire hazard.
If you're looking for a more authentic wood-burning feel, a gas insert with realistic ceramic logs is a great alternative!
