The Experience of a Flare Fire.

When you think of a fire feature on your property, are you thinking about roasting s’mores, gathering around it, and having more of an “interactive experience?” All this can be done with a Flare Fire and so much more. Flare Fires is a good fit for families with children who envision themselves spending a lot of time around the fire.

One of the great things about Flare Fires is that they are modular. Which means you can customize the fire to suit your space and taste. Check out this video for all the options you have for the design.

While Flare Fires are modular, after they are installed, they are not meant to be move, so it’s important that it’s something you want to spend a lot of time around as it can take up a significant portion of your patio. But it can also really enhance your experience. It is also important to ensure that placement avoids the predominate wind direction passing the face of the fire.

If you’re thinking more about a fire feature in terms of ambiance, then Flare Fires is the better perfect choice. No matter which Flare Fire you choose, they will all give you heat and ambiance. It also has a sense of elegance to it. A Flare Fire is often built as part of the structure of a pavilion and is ideal for creating a seating area with entertaining in mind.

 Set the Mood with an Outdoor Fireplace

If you find yourself dreaming about having an outdoor space that’s perfect for entertaining and relaxing, you’re in good company. More than 60 percent of architects report that outdoor living spaces are the most popular “special function” area today — and 56 percent of homeowners aren’t just dreaming about having one, they’re acting on it and making updates to their yards for entertaining. It doesn’t seem to matter what the age they are – Americans love their outdoor spaces. Studies have shown that outdoor rooms are important to 85 percent of Millennials, 83 percent of Gen Xers, and 74 percent of baby boomers.

So why are outdoor spaces so popular now? One reason is they extend the square footage of your home for entertaining without the significant expense of building an addition. And those spaces do more than bring years of enjoyment to your family and friends – they will pay off when it comes time to sell your home. In fact, spending 5 percent of the total value of your home on quality landscaping can add as much as 15 percent to the value of your home – and make it easier to sell. That being said, it’s important to choose amenities for your outdoor space that provide a good return on investment, such as outdoor fire features and fireplaces.
