			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you believe that solar power is a wonderful way to get free hot water in your home?  You can make and fit diy solar water heating easily and cheaply, perhaps for under 100 dollars depending on the materials you have available.  Buying a ready made solar hot water heater will cost upwards of 1,000 dollars so making a solar water heater yourself will save you hundreds of dollars, repaying its cost in one or two months.  And think of the savings every month after that!</p>
<p> Solar water heating works anywhere in the world – even in the middle of winter!  It is possible that solar heat might not provide all your hot water (it often does), but it will definitely save you a large chunk of your utility bill.  At least one third is quite common.  Solar water heaters are simple devices, very efficient and environmentally friendly.  It is quite possible to make and fit one of these systems over a weekend, provided you plan it properly beforehandand assemble all the necessary parts.</p>
<p> The system consists of a simple glazed solar collector box containing water tubes that, in turn, are connected to the hot and cold water pipes of your existing hot water tank.  A drain valve is usually fitted in case you need to isolate the solar water heater for any reason, such as leaving the house empty in winter.  Plumbing is easy and no special skills or tools are needed.  The solar collector box will be sited and angled to face the sun at noon, and this can be on a roof or against a suitable wall.  All necessary materials will be available from your local hardware store, although you will probably find you already have some of them in your shed.</p>
<p> You will not damage your existing hot water system when making and fitting a solar water heater.  In fact, by reducing the operating demands on your existing system, the solar water heater will help prolong the service of your boiler or immersion heater as well as save on utility bills.  Remember also that solar heating is free energy that reduces our use of non-renewable fuels and lowers the carbon footprint, so there is an green bonus for fitting a solar water heater as well.</p>
<p> It also has other uses.  Solar hot water systems can be used for heating swimming pools by providing a gentle, all-year-round source of free heating.  Are you thinking about underfloor heating, or do you already have such a central heating system?  This typically operates on a constant supply of warm (not hot) water with a low flow rate. <a target="_blank" href="http://practical-solar.com/build-solar-water-heater/">Homemade solar water heaters</a> are an ideal way of getting free heat in your house.</p>
<p> There is something very satisfying about making a simple device that saves you money, gives you free hot water on demand and helps save the planet at the same time.</p>
<p>But, as always, there are pitfalls for the inexperienced when trying to make and fit a solar water heater.  It makes a lot of sense to get expert guidance and advice at the planning stage and before you start to build.  The cost will be very small, and you will get full assurance that you are doing the job properly and safely. We have  more information about this on our <a target="_blank" href="http://practical-solar.com/solar-panel-water-heater/">specialized website</a>.</p>
<p>In summary, we can assure you that making and installing your own solar water heater is a satisfying and fun project that will give you years of savings, so why not give it a go?</p>

<p>Fireplace mantels are used to decorate a fireplace. They can be made out of different materials such as fine wood, metal and more expensive materials like limestone and marble. It also has different uses, from aesthetic to practical. Some people use their fireplace mantels to flaunt their wealth; showing off the expensive materials made and how big it is to their friends.</p>
<p>Fireplace mantels give flavour to the fireplace itself. As mentioned earlier it not only pleases the eyes of the owners and the visitors, it also has practical uses. In its most basic form, it used to keep or catch the smoke coming from the fire.</p>
<p>Whilst having a nice fireplace mantel will make your living room that much more attractive, understand that these fireplace mantels do not come cheap. Most fireplace mantels will set you back to at least a thousand dollars; the nicer ones can reach prices up to more than five thousand dollars. So if you want to be thrifty in your spending, acquiring a fireplace mantel is not a good option for you.</p>
<p>If you want to save money for other expenses, then purchasing a fireplace mantel is not the way to go. First, you&#039;d have to install a <a href="http://www.portablefireplace.com/fireplace-mantels/">fireplace </a>and a chimney to go along with it, which could cost you quite a sum of money. Second you&#039;d have to buy the fireplace mantel itself. If you want a good and cheap alternative, electric fireplaces are a good substitute. They come with a fireplace mantel already and you can get both for the same price as a real fireplace mantel. A decorative fireplace mantel is always plus.</p>
<p>Fireplace mantels are also a great place to put your most valued items, where you can place them for all your visitors to see. From college diplomas to pictures of family members, having an intricately designed fireplace mantel is sure to attract the attention of your visitors and it will give you a chance to show your treasured possessions.</p>
<p>Fireplace mantels make fireplaces look even better. They accentuate the fireplace and gives it a better look and feel. Although it does not come cheap, with price ranges from one thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars. So buying a fireplace mantel is not a smart investment if you want to take a thriftier approach to making your house look better. You can buy an electric fireplace if you wanted; it comes with an electric fireplace mantle when you buy it, giving you a decorative fireplace in your home.</p>

Hearths naturally attract the eye of anyone entering a room because they take up a large section of the wall and sport intricate patterns that form a great visual spectacle. If you want your home to look and feel cool despite the heat, learn how to choose the most appealing style of mantelpiece.</p>

<p>The fireplace has always been one of the most interesting features of a room. Many centuries after its introduction in Europe, fireplace mantels remain sought after for their aesthetic appeal if not for its function as a heater. In the past, the word hearth was only used to describe the firebox and its stack. In modern lingo, it also means the fireplace as a whole.</p>

<p>Clearly, all parts of a <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/fireplace-safety" target="_blank">fireplace</a> should be fireproof. This is why fireplace mantels comprised mainly of wood need to be soaked in flame retardants before they are assembled. Despite worries over safety, wood stands as a favorite material for mantelpieces since it goes well with practically any room design and furniture.</p>
<p>Now that you&#039;re on the verge of acquiring a fireplace mantel to augment the beauty of your home, don&#039;t be too hasty in picking out a model that you may end up not liking. If you find the choices at a local shop too limited, go online and choose from a wider selection of fireplace mantels.</p>
<p>After deciding on a mantelpiece model, the choice moves to whether you want it custom made or prefabricated. Whichever you settle on, the next step is to prepare the funds for its construction or installation. Make certain to include fees for laborers in case you can&#039;t do the job alone.</p>
<p>For those who can&#039;t afford to have a hearth constructed, you may want to consider purchasing an <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/alternatives-home-heating" target="_blank">electric fireplace</a> mantel instead. This type for fireplace, which come in ready-to-install kits, functions exactly like a wood and charcoal hearth but isn&#039;t as expensive. Taking into account that you can install it yourself, you&#039;ll have better control over how the new mantelpiece fits in with the room of your choosing.</p>
<p>Custom-made fireplace mantels are slowly becoming a thing of the past, primarily because they are costly and consumes a lot of time just to set up. Fortunately, there is an alternative. The electric fireplace mantel works as good as any hearth, giving off life giving warmth while boosting the aesthetic value of your home.</p>

The hearth has traditionally occupied a special place in a home&#039;s living area. In the eighteenth century, fireplace mantels didn&#039;t just form part of a wall; it comprised the entire wall. The <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/choosing-a-fireplace">mantelpiece</a> has since shrunk to the size you see today, but the word&#039;s meaning is different as it now includes almost all external parts of the hearth, from mantle down to the grate.</p>
<p>Clearly, all parts of a fireplace should be fireproof. This is why fireplace mantels comprised mainly of wood need to be soaked in flame retardants before they are assembled. Despite worries over safety, wood stands as a favorite material for mantelpieces since it goes well with practically any room design and furniture.</p>
<p>Because fireplace mantels are necessary additions to any room in a beautiful home, take your time in browsing through the collection of shops. Should you find yourself unsure on what to get, consult an expert or post an inquiry with an online fireplace retailer. It is suggested you also procure an estimate of the cost. <a href="http://www.portablefireplace.com/electric-fireplaces/">Electric fireplaces</a> offer a nice product at a reduced price, and are available with a fireplace mantel.</p>
<p>After deciding on a mantelpiece model, the choice moves to whether you want it custom made or prefabricated. Whichever you settle on, the next step is to prepare the funds for its construction or installation. Make certain to include fees for laborers in case you can&#039;t do the job alone.</p>
<p>For those who can&#039;t afford to have a hearth constructed, you may want to consider purchasing an <a href="http://www.portablefireplace.com/fireplace-mantels/">electric fireplace mantel</a> instead. This type for fireplace, which come in ready-to-install kits, functions exactly like a wood and charcoal hearth but isn&#039;t as expensive. Taking into account that you can install it yourself, you&#039;ll have better control over how the new mantelpiece fits in with the room of your choosing.</p>
<p>Custom-made fireplace mantels are slowly becoming a thing of the past, primarily because they are costly and consumes a lot of time just to set up. Fortunately, there is an alternative. The electric fireplace mantel works as good as any hearth, giving off life giving warmth while boosting the aesthetic value of your home.</p>
