Transform Your Home with the Escape: Heat & Glo’s Partnership with Heather Ison

At Heat & Glo, we believe that a fireplace is more than just a feature in your home—it's the heart of your space, providing warmth, comfort, and beauty. Recently, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Heather Ison, a talented photographer and interior design enthusiast from Charlotte, North Carolina. Known for her keen eye and passion for design, Heather transformed her old wood-burning fireplace into something truly spectacular with our Escape gas fireplace insert.

A New Beginning: From Wood-Burning to Gas

Heather’s home, like many, featured a traditional wood-burning fireplace—charming, yet impractical for everyday use. Wood fireplaces can be high maintenance and inefficient, often going unused except for special occasions. Heather sought a solution that would enhance her living space both aesthetically and functionally, and that's where the Escape gas fireplace insert came in.

Designed for those who want to update their existing fireplace, the Escape brings unparalleled beauty and convenience. Heather upgraded her fireplace with the Escape, and the result was extraordinary. With its large, clear view of the flames and lifelike, hand-painted logs, the Escape turned her fireplace into the focal point of her home.

The Fireplace: The Heart of the Home

Heather’s redesign highlights something we’ve always known at Heat & Glo—the fireplace is the heart of the home. It's where family and friends gather, stories are shared, and memories are made. Whether it's the centerpiece of a cozy night in or the backdrop for entertaining guests, a fireplace has the power to elevate any space.

The Escape gas insert was the perfect addition to Heather’s home, delivering not only stunning visuals but also reliable, efficient heat. Available in both 30-inch and 35-inch widths, the Escape can fit a variety of spaces while making a bold statement.
