7 Inspirational Ideas for Your Own Techo-Bloc Fireplace
You may know that you want a beautiful Techo-Bloc outdoor fireplace of your very own, but are having a difficult time envisioning it. Is your property well-suited for an outdoor livings space, and how could the fireplace be installed in a way that accommodates your specific needs?
The following 7 ideas should help to spark your imagination and inspire you to move forward with your plans with confidence.
1. Construct an Outdoor Living Room
Outdoor living rooms are becoming increasingly popular throughout Northern NJ, as a growing number of homeowners desire to maximize their outdoor living space during the milder months of the year. A fireplace often acts as the centerpiece of any living or family room, so no outdoor living area is complete without one.
Techo-Bloc’s stunning outdoor fireplaces are designed to bring people together and to provide warmth and comfort for all who gaze upon it. The fireplace will be complemented beautifully by stunning concrete paver flooring, beautiful outdoor furnishings and rugs, and perhaps even an awning.
2. Divide the Space Between Outdoor Rooms
Those fortunate enough to have both an outdoor living area and an outdoor kitchen or poolside bar might want to consider using their Techo-Bloc fireplace as a partition or a divider between the two distinct areas.
A large and stunning fireplace will create a distinct barrier in a way that simply more elegant, attractive, unique, and visually appealing than a plain wall. The fireplace can then meet two different needs as it can be enjoyed from either side of the partition, in both rooms.
3. Install a Flat Screen
If you love to entertain, you might want to consider installing a flat screen TV above your Techo-Bloc outdoor fireplace. Here, users can enjoy the warmth and light of a magnificent fire while still staying up-to-date on the big game or the season finale of their favorite show.
This is the perfect idea for tying together a poolside, swim up bar and lounge, an outdoor living room, or even an outdoor game space, complete with a pool table. Your options are limitless.
4. Go Poolside
Is there anything more dazzling and hypnotic than the look of dancing flames reflected in cool, peaceful waters? Spark the imagination and creativity of yourself, your loved ones, and your guests by installing a magnificent Techo-Bloc outdoor fireplace of your very own alongside one of the bordering edges of your swimming pool.
At a close but safe distance, swimmers can do laps across the pool while gazing at the fire, even drying off in the warm glow when they emerge from the waters. Gather chairs around the fire alongside the deck so that both those inside and outside of the swimming pool can socialize with one another and enjoy the fireplace.
5. Rustic Simplicity
Instead of building an entire room or area around a fireplace, some Northern NJ homeowners like the idea of keeping things as simple as possible.
Here, you might install your Techo-Bloc outdoor fire place in a more secluded area of your property, with nothing more than a simple concrete slab for it to sit upon and a few chairs gathered around for reading or entertaining.
Here, the beauty of the fireplace speaks for itself, without any other amenities or features required to do the work.
6. Go Dual-Purpose
Although not a conventional fireplace, many northern NJ homeowners make the decision to install an outdoor pizza oven instead. These wood burning ovens feature the open flame so desirable in a fireplace, but with a more interesting and unique design and purpose.
Numerous Techo-Bloc outdoor pizza ovens are available for you to choose from, all of which are spectacularly beautiful while providing you with the luxury of serving up mouth-watering dishes that are healthy and environmentally responsible.
You and your loved ones can sit on your patio or deck and enjoy the fire while you wait for your dinner to finish cooking. It’s the best of both worlds!
7. Consider a Fire Pit
Although the name might not be as glamorous, Techo-Bloc designs fire pits that are just as stunning is outdoor fireplace and that are extremely versatile and highly functional.
Whether you desire the more traditional look of a simple, rustic fire pit or would prefer more modern, sleek, and sophisticated geometrical blocks, you’ll find the perfect match from Techo-Bloc. Fire pits can be situated in the center of a patio or outdoor living space, or can be located off in their own, private section of the property.
Chairs and outdoor seating can be arranged around the fire pit so that friends and family can trade stories, laugh, and toast marshmallows while enjoying the crackling, open flames.
Other Tips for Techo-Bloc Fireplace Installations
Before moving forward with the process of installing a Techo-Bloc outdoor fireplace, we strongly recommend that you take the time to have your property assessed for such a project.
You’ll need to excavate the area where your fireplace’s foundation will rest, which means that you must make sure that the desired area won’t interfere with any underground pipes, cables, or other utilities.
It’s important, too, that you verify local safety codes and regulations to ensure that you’re in compliance with the law when installing your fireplace. Double check standards for the distance required between your fireplace or fire feature and any additional structure situated throughout your property.
Taking the time to follow these steps prior to installation will save you a lot of time, money, and stress in the long run should you find that you are not in compliance with the law.
