Tiffany's Today

Many may have never heard of putting cap on their metal chimney. But it should be noted that most pre-fab fireplace installations require metal fireplace chimney caps. Metal chimneys are used commonly for wood stove venting. There are several reasons why theses types of chimneys need caps.

First of all, there is nowhere for rain to go in these chimneys and without a cap water will run into a wood stove, fireplace or heater resulting in damage to walls and ceilings. Also, birds and animals look for warmth during the winter and may build nests in your chimneys, clogging the chimney and locking in smoke. Without a cap the moisture can get into the cracks between the layers of metal in chimney causing premature failure and other problems. In addition to a chimney cap, it’s a good idea to have a fireplace screen as well. Since this piece will actually be in your home, choose a stylish model such as a stained glass fireplace screen.

Old homes can be quite drafty, which presents myriad concerns. There is the worry of constantly being cold, of course, and this is often remedied by turning up the thermostat, therefore increasing your energy bill. If you have an older home, the best options are to install new windows, invest in better installation and have your doors weatherproofed.

But taking these steps is a big undertaking, not to mention expensive. In my home, one of the areas where I noticed the draft was the fireplace. Instead of simply installing a drab fireplace cover, I decided to use it as an opportunity to spruce up the living room. I invested in a Tiffany style fireplace screen, which effectively blocks out the cold are and brings a kaleidoscope of iridescent colors into the room.

Most people associate stained glass with the artistically decorated church windows that have been part of religious architecture for so many years now. In churches, stained glass windows usually showcase the episodes from the life of Jesus Christ. And in non-religious structures, stained glass may depict a coat of arms or other themes significant for the specific location. Some home designers even choose to incorporate stained glass in special house arrangements that they create.

However, stained glass is also included in the design of art objects that we use to decorate our houses. Stained glass fireplace screens for instance have been popular gift items ideal for any special occasion. They can actually serve as elegant accent pieces at home. With some having holy images or pictures, they make perfect mementos for a religious friend or relative because a religious stained glass picture symbolizes Catholic faith and religion.

Winter is almost over.  A wonderful season that I hate to see end.   With the cold comes a good excuse to throw another  log on the fire and enjoy the warmth that the fireplace brings.   If  you own a Tiffany Style Fireplace Screen, you know how luxurious the fire behind the screen can be.
