Whats The Difference With Antique Truck and Car Insurance?

It is difficult to define what antique means when dealing with insurance companies, and that is why its a little difficult purchasing antique truck and car insurance. You have to make sure you have the auto insurance to meet your needs, although there are many companies that offer this insurance, you will have to put a bit of work into finding antique truck and car insurance that is right for you

There are two types of insurance you can find with antique automobile insurance companies and also classic collector auto insurance. The difference in the two of these is that most antique truck and car insurance doesnt allow the car or truck to be used for normal chores. Collectors auto insurance does, but only if you have a regular second daily car to drive and you cant use your collector car to go to or from work or to school.

In order to be eligible for special discounts on your antique truck and car insurance, your vehicle has to be defined as antique or vintage. It must be at least 30 years old. This makes life a bit easier for antique automobile insurance companies. As for other cars that arrived later and are loosely regarded as collectibles, then there is an auto insurance that can be obtained for these also.

There are a few ways to save if youre looking for antique truck or car insurance. Dont go for the full package of auto insurance if youre not taking your car on the road or if you dont use it at all and just have it for show. Although some antique automobile insurance is necessary you may not need all the auto insurance that you have.

To be sure of your needs talk to your automobile insurance company or check with several automobile insurance companies to make sure you are getting the best deal you possible can. You may end up with a discount depending on a few factors that could be the deal of a lifetime, so dont be afraid to shop around and find out whats out there for you that will meet your needs. Insurance companies can custom make a package for your antique truck and car insurance just for you.

There is antique truck and car insurance available, but only for antiques, and make sure that you know how you are going to use the vehicle.

Choosing Antique and Victorian Fireplaces for Your Home

If you also intend for your fireplace to be functional, then there are certain considerations of which you must be aware. Below are some tips and bits of advice for those considering adding or restoring a fireplace in their homes.

1. Do you have a chimney?

Without a chimney or vent, your fireplace is useless. When considering putting in a fireplace, be sure to have any existing chimney carefully checked for safety and fitness.

Not having a chimney is not the end of the world, though. There are many modern alternatives to a traditional chimney and flue, and most professional fireplace installers can find ways to work those solutions into an antique restoration.

2. What sort of fuel will you burn?

Wood burning fireplaces (often called ?solid fuel fires?) are what most people envision when they think of a fireplace ? but as early as the late 1800s, the landed gentry had begun to convert their fireplaces to natural gas fires. If your intent is to use your fireplace for more than just focal interest, a gas or electric fire may be a better choice than a solid fuel fire. Restoration experts can easily fit gas and electric fires into period fireplace surrounds.

3. What is the style of your room?

Antique fireplaces run the gamut in design from the rustic simplicity of Arts and Crafts design to the ornate carvings and castings of Victorian era surrounds and firebacks. If you?re striving for a true-to-history restoration, then research is your best chum. Your second best is the owner of the local salvage yard who, you?ll find, is a surprising font of knowledge about architectural details and differences.

On the other hand, there is nothing that says you can only put an antique fireplace into a period home. The delightful drama and whimsy of an Art Deco mantelpiece can be the focal point of an otherwise sterile, ultramodern room, and the fussy detailing of a Victorian fireplace can provide a surprisingly warm and feminine touch to a rustic design. Don?t be afraid to mix and match styles.

4. Keep scale in mind.

More important than style is scale. Pay attention to the proportions of your room. An enormous wall-to-wall surround can easily overpower a small, close room and make it feel overcrowded, while a small, stately Edwardian hearth can be lost in a huge drawing room. Take into account the size of the room, the size of the wall on which the fireplace will be placed, and where other openings in the room are located. All of those things will have a bearing on whether your fireplace looks as if it was grown with the house or tacked on as an afterthought.

5. Follow your heart.

All the advice above notwithstanding, if you fall in love with a fireplace, you can find a way to make it fit. Follow your heart, buy the delicious thing, and then build your room around it.

6. If a full antique fireplace is outside your budget, consider bits and pieces.

One of the most effective ways to give a room a whole new look is to replace the surround on the fireplace. Remember that fireplaces are made of many pieces. The most obvious of these are the surround and the mantelpiece. A professional fireplace fitter can remove your existing fireplace surround and replace it with a style that is more appealing.
