STERLING HOMES

Here at Sterling Homes, your house will come with a standard fireplace already included in the base price of your home. This is a gas fireplace that is finished with an oak mantle and a ceramic tile face, as well as oak pilasters on either side. The mantle is perfect for putting up some of your favourite décor, and a multi-jack and electrical outlet are provided above, making it the perfect place to mount your TV. If you’re looking for something a bit different, you can choose to upgrade to one of our many fireplace options, or a fireplace and entertainment unit all in one. We have over 15 units to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that you love and is able to be accommodated in your home plans. There’s nothing quite like having a fireplace in your home to give that extra cozy and upscale vibe, and they are a feature that can be enjoyed no matter the season. While their main purpose when it comes to functionality is to provide that extra bit of heat throughout the colder months, they’re also perfect for those gloomy summer days to grab your favourite book and sit in front of the fire. They are also multi-functional depending on the unit you choose, and always aesthetically pleasing. Let’s get into the details of what Sterling Homes has to offer you when it comes to our fireplaces. While both gas and electric fireplaces will produce heat and give nearly the same appeal when it comes to appearances, there are a few differences between the two that may have you leaning towards one over the other. Gas fireplaces will produce a real flame and generally heat a larger area in comparison to electric, which is great if you have a big, open space and would like your fireplace to heat it. This could potentially reduce the amount you’ll need to run your furnace, especially when we’re experiencing a few cooler days during the summer months. Electric fireplaces still produce heat, but they won’t be able to heat the same amount of space in comparison to gas as they do not produce a real flame. Electric fireplaces are a good option when you’re looking to heat one room in your home, and would prefer to have a fake flame over a real flame. Finally, if you just love the look of a fire but don’t need to heat the room, electric fireplaces can be switched on without turning on the heating portion of the fireplace, giving you a visually appealing look without generating any heat.
