There are three main subspecies of falshkamines, which are most often used for decoration in modern homes.

The simplest of them is symbolic products. Such a pseudo fireplace is represented by a box of wood or polyurethane, on which there is a shelf. Candles are installed here or “logs” of foam are put (in no case should they be set on fire). It is clear that only artificial fire can be used here.

The second subspecies is a complete and high-quality imitation of a real fireplace. Such products are also called reliable. Their characteristic feature is a complete imitation of the present.products and real fire. The only difference is that instead of real firewood, biofuels or candles are used in these fireplaces. Quite rarely, gas burners are placed in this decorative product, which are hidden behind the “wild” stone, and sometimes artificial coal is also used. Stone decoration has a double purpose: stones after a good heating for a long time retain heat. Thus, you receive additional and high-quality heating of the room after your heat source stops its work.

The third subspecies of falshkamins is a plasterboard hearthwhich completely repeats the outlines of a real fireplace. They are also considered "conditional" products. Electrofireplaces are placed inside this portal, fire and logs are simulated in them. Fireplaces in this category are most often made of polyurethane: it is light, easy to work and can imitate different textures. This material will help to make structures that differ in stylistic orientation.

You can also choose an artificial stone that can be presented in various variations of colors and textures. Stylish tiles, beautiful bas-reliefs, ceramic tiles will help to give expressiveness and individuality to the whole structure. However, excessive pomp can be superfluous in some interiors.

To create an imitation of fire in the fireplace, use:

• backlight with LEDs with a burning effect;
• electronic photo frame;
• candles of different sizes.
