FALOART JOURNAL & GUIDES
Fireplace GuidesSelection, Installation & Procurement
Find the guidance for your current stage. Understand the type, compare the model, then bring drawings, configurations and delivery scope into one record when cabinetry or multiple units are involved.
01 / START HERE
Start with Your Role
Designers: Coordinate the Unit and the Space
Compare furniture forms and viewing positions, request installation documents, and align drawing revisions when models or finishes change.
Project Buyers: Record Every Unit
Use installation locations to connect configurations, quotation scope and delivery checks, keeping documents that can be reviewed.
02 / THE GUIDES
Four Guides, Different Decisions
GUIDE 01
Fireplace Types
Compare existing flame presentations, collection features and furniture forms to decide which products to explore next.
GUIDE 02Choosing a Home Fireplace
Start with flame-viewing and heating needs. Bring together space constraints, demonstration checks, routine care and responsibilities to form a useful first brief.
GUIDE 03Installation & Cabinetry Planning
Distinguish overall product dimensions, the installation opening and operating and maintenance space. Check model documents, drawing revisions and site coordination before developing cabinetry and finishes.
GUIDE 04Project Procurement & Delivery
Record models, quantities and configurations by installation location. Align quotation scope, document revisions and delivery batches, and agree on acceptance checks and follow-up for outstanding items.
03 / FIND AN ANSWER
Go Straight to the Question
How should I compare electric, water vapor, holographic and ethanol fireplaces?
Compare the presentations shown: electric fireplaces use light and decorative logs; the L Series combines mist and light; the EVO ethanol presentation uses a real flame. Compare the K Series and Flat holographic collections separately, then confirm the model and configuration. Read the relevant guidance ↗
What should I compare first across side table, TV cabinet and freestanding forms?
Start with the unit’s proportions, position and viewing directions alongside nearby furniture, then check the model. Furniture form alone does not establish insert technology, heating, tabletop use or moving requirements. Read the relevant guidance ↗
How should I describe my needs if I mainly want the flame effect and have not decided about heating?
State that the flame effect is the priority and heating is undecided. If you want separate control, request information on models that support it. Appearance and collection name do not establish heating capability. Read the relevant guidance ↗
Can I order fireplace cabinetry once I know the insert’s overall dimensions?
Overall dimensions cannot be used directly as the installation opening. Obtain the selected model’s installation documents and check fixing, heat dissipation, finishes, wiring and maintenance access before developing the cabinetry. Read the relevant guidance ↗
How can I assess a fireplace beyond its promotional video?
Where possible, view a demonstration of the intended model. Check the flame, logs, background, glass reflections and unlit appearance separately, along with sound and operation. Lighting, exposure and the viewing screen affect the impression. Read the relevant guidance ↗
Can water, fuel and cleaning requirements be planned from the category name alone?
Use each model’s own instructions to check daily operation, cleaning, maintenance tasks and consumables. Refilling and maintenance access must also be addressed in the installation plan. Read the relevant guidance ↗
Which documents should be requested before ordering cabinetry or starting work?
Obtain product information and dimensional and installation drawings for the selected model and configuration. Then check site coordination, cabinetry and finishes, maintenance access, and delivery and acceptance documents. Model references and revisions should align. Read the relevant guidance ↗
How can drawings, equipment schedules and quotations be matched across multiple fireplaces?
Assign an ID to each installation location and use it consistently in drawings, schedules and quotations. Record the model, configuration, quantity, dimension references, maintenance requirements and delivery batch for each item. Read the relevant guidance ↗
Does a lower equipment price mean a lower total project cost?
Not necessarily. Compare the same model and configuration, then separate transport, handling, installation, commissioning, finishing and after-sales scope. Check which costs are included and who is responsible. Read the relevant guidance ↗
What should be recorded beyond marking multiple units as “commissioned”?
Record arrival, site and function checks against each unit and location. For outstanding items, identify the responsible role, resolution plan and recheck result, and retain the final configuration, drawings, instructions and acceptance records. Read the relevant guidance ↗
04 / PROJECT BRIEF
Fireplace Selection & Procurement Brief
Use one record per installation location. Record needs and items to confirm, then align the selected model, drawings and procurement documents.
Download the brief · TXT ↓
Save the file and fill it in using a text editor on your phone or computer. Leave undecided items for discussion.
Site dimensions are not the installation opening. This brief does not replace model-specific drawings, quotations, procurement agreements or acceptance records.
- Space Type & Location ID
Record the space type and location ID so drawings and quotations can refer to the same position.
- Flame & Heating Needs
State whether the priority is the flame effect, heating or an undecided requirement; describe the desired controls separately.
- Preferred Collection & Furniture Form
Record the preferred collection and a freestanding, side table or TV cabinet direction; use “To confirm” if undecided.
- Viewing Positions & Viewing Sides
Describe the main seat, front or side viewing positions, and the preferred viewing sides.
- Available Site Dimensions
Record the available width, height, depth and units; these are site dimensions, not product dimensions or the installation opening.
- Preferred Model & Configuration
Record the model, finish, decorative log design, controls and accessory requirements; do not infer unknown details from images.
- Quantity & Planned Batches
Record the quantity and preferred delivery batch for each configuration rather than combining different configurations into one total.
- Project Stage & Target Dates
Record the current stage, desired arrival date and expected installation readiness; target dates are not delivery commitments.
- Operation, Consumables & Maintenance
List refilling or consumables, cleaning access, servicing arrangements and site coordination items that need confirmation.
- Drawing Revisions & Dimension References
Record document names, revisions and dates only; identify separate references for overall dimensions, viewing area and installation opening.
- Quotation Scope & Site Responsibilities
Record whether transport, handling, installation, commissioning, finishing and after-sales scope are included; use roles such as equipment supplier, installer and cabinet supplier for responsibility.
- Handover Documents & Acceptance Checks
List the configuration schedule, drawings, instructions and arrival, site and function checks; issue records also need a responsible role, resolution plan and recheck result.
