Selecting the Hearth Product for You

Some products are designed to be efficient heat producers, others will have more of a decorative look and some will provide the best of both. The layout of your room, any physical space constraints and interior design style will all play a part in your decision. A fireplace will become a natural focal point in most rooms, so think of it as a major piece of furniture that should complement your décor.

Logs are sized and matched and colored to create an authentic wood fire appearance. Enjoy the radiant glow of a roaring fire at the flip of a switch.

Freestanding Gas Stoves

Gas stoves will warm your family’s hearts and homes with old fashion charm and all the modern day convenience of gas! With many different physical sizes and colors available, you’re sure to find one to complement your decorating scheme. The large cast iron models offer home owners traditional character and real warmth. Variable output gas valves and thermostat control allows the ability to regulate heat output and room temperature.
Mantels & Surrounds
The area around the firebox can be decorated in many different styles. Traditionally, the non- combustible material “surrounding” the firebox includes the following choices: stone, marble, granite, limestone, brick, stucco, plaster, and ceramic tile. The decorative mantel can be a simple “shelf mantel” mounted above the firebox, a “surround mantel” around three sides, or a full “cabinet enclosure”. A decorative mantel and surround will be a primary focal point in your home. When the fire is not burning, the mantel and surround take center stage.
Door Enclosures
A fireplace door enclosure is both a decorative and functional component of your fireplace. They are used on all types of fireplaces and log sets.
